These pneumatic tools are designed to bend tabs on railroad wheels. They are well balanced and ergonomic.
Specifically designed for bending tabs on railroad wheel nuts. Any other application please consult the factory.
1. Read this manual and understand all safety instructions before operation of the tool. If you have questions please
contact our authorized distributors or the factory.
2. Only those tabs and nuts listed in the operating instructions are to be bent with the tool specific to the size. Any oth-
er use may damage tool or cause harm to operator.
3. Only the main energy (air supply) and lubricants listed in the instructions may be used.
4. For maintenance of the tab bender only spare parts and jaws specified by the manufacturer shall be used.
5. Repairs to be carried out by authorized agents or the factory only.
6. Tab bending tools operated by compressed air shall only be connected to compressed air lines where the maximum
allowable pressure CANNOT be exceeded by a factor of more than 10%. This can be achieved by a pressure re-
duction valve which includes a downstream safety valve.
7. When using the tab bender operated by compressed air, particular attention must be paid to avoid exceeding the
maximum allowable pressure.
8. Tab bender should be operated at the lower possible air pressure to perform the task at hand. This will help avoid
unnecessary noise levels, increased wear and resulting failures.
9. There is possibility of fire and explosion when using oxygen or combustible gases for operating compressed air driv-
ing tab bender.
10. Carry tab bender using only the handgrip and never by trigger or with trigger actuated. Never carry the tool by the
hose or pull hose to move the tool.
11. Disconnect the tool from air supply before cleaning, servicing, adjusting and during non-operation.
12. Wear eye protection.
14. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in tool.
15. Do not place hand or any part of your body in the jaw area of the tool when connecting or disconnecting air
supply.
16. Never point tool at yourself or at any other person.
1. Many air tool users find it convenient to use oiler to help provide oil circulation through tool and increase the effi-
ciency and useful like of the tool Check oil level in the oiler daily.
2. Many air tool users find it convenient to use a filter to remove liquid and impurities which can rust or wear internal
parts of the tool. A filter also increases the efficiency and life of the tool. The filter must be checked on a daily basis
and drained if necessary.
3. For better performance, install a 3/8” quick connector (1/4” NPT threads) with inside diameter of 0.315” on your tool
and 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose.
