ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.
INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT coupler plug (sold separately) for use with your
tool.
1.
Wrap the external threads of the coupler plug 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 coupler plug 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
CHANGING THE DIE AND PUNCH
1.
Loosen the fixing nut (#36) with a wrench, then remove and set aside.
2. Remove the die (#35) and set aside.
3.
Remove the punch base (#34) and punch (#33) from the tool as a unit.
4.
Remove the existing punch from the punch base and discard.
5.
Insert a new punch into the punch base.
6. Reassemble the components in reverse order. Ensure the die opening is
straight ahead in step 2.
OPERATION
PRELIMINARY SET-UP
1.
Rotate the die to angle the slot in the direction you wish to cut. This
requires removing the screw nut (#36) and loosening the die (#35) to
change the angle, then reassembling the components.
2. Test the nibbler on a piece of scrap material to determine the punch’s
cutting capacity.
