18 Gauge In-Line Air Shear
V 4.0
ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.
INSTALL AIR CONNECTOR
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT male air connector (sold separately) for use with
your tool.
1. Wrap the external threads of the male connector with sealant tape.
a. Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
b. Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads unwrapped
for easier alignment.
2. Screw the connector into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a wrench
until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for air
leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the faulty
component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is connected
directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the
tool. A quick coupler may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line hose.
BLADE REPLACEMENT
Only use the recommended blade replacement kit for this shear (SKU 8654576).
1. Remove the lock screws (#27) and lock nuts (#22) and cutter
housing (#21).
2. Remove the center blade (#24) first then remove the left blade (#23) and
right blade (#26).
3. Install the new blades.
4. Replace the cutter housing (#21), lock screws (#27) and lock nuts (#22).
5. Tighten securely.
