AIR METAL SHEAR

Unpacking
Your tool was carefully packaged for safe transportation. Remove the packaging materials from around your tool
and inspect it. If you discover the tool is damaged,
please immediately call our customer service hotline.
Save
the containers and all packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Otherwise, filing a
freight claim can be difficult. When you are completely satisfied with the condition of your shipment, inventory the
contents.
If any non-proprietary parts are missing (e.g., a nut or a washer), we will gladly replace them; or for the sake of
expediency, replacements can be obtained at your local hardware store.
Assembly
1. Remove the plastic plug from the air inlet in the handle.
2. Apply pipe sealant on the threads of the quick disconnect fitting.
3. Thread the fitting into the pneumatic shear air inlet and tighten.
4. Press the trigger, and place a few drops of air tool oil into the air inlet, and release the trigger. The
pneumatic shear is ready for use.
Air Supply Set-Up Tips
If the air hose is longer than 25-feet, increase the air pressure to 100 PSI to compensate for air flow
restriction.
For consistent air flow, use air hoses with an inside diameter of 3
⁄8" or larger.
To eliminate air system moisture and maintain automatic lubrication, install a main or in-line filter water
separator as far as possible from the air compressor, but before any automatic in-line oiler.
