Manual No. 188000 September 1, 2009
Installation
The workstation for each operator should be designed so that the operator's movements in performing the job are natural and easy. A sideways sweeping motion with the Whizard
®
AirMax MACH 3 Trimmer is preferable to a reaching motion. Long reaching motions and high muscle strain should be avoided if possible. Also, a proper working height is needed to avoid excessive shoulder and back exertion.
Air Supply
A clean, dry, lubricated air supply is critical to proper operation. The filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) unit, furnished with your complete Whizard® AirMax MACH 3, should be mounted horizontally at the air supply outlet and in such a position as to be easily reached for draining the filter bowl and refilling the lubricator. The filter bowl should be drained, and the lubricator refilled, daily.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the air supply is a constant 90 pounds per square inch (6.2 bar) and the
volume is a minimum of 14 cubic feet per minute (396 liters per minute) per unit.
Supply Line:
Use a 2 inch to 6 inch (5 cm to 15 cm) pipe for the air supply. All air outlet drops should be connected to the top of the main air supply line to
minimize the possibility of moisture and dirt reaching the motor.
Drops should be at least:
¾ inch (2 cm) pipe for one (1) tool. 1 inch (2.54 cm) pipe for two (2) tools. 1 ¼ inch (3.18 cm) pipe for three (3) tools.
A FRL should be used for each tool. Do not run multiple tools off of a single
FRL.
All air outlets should be located close enough to the operator’s work station so that
additional hose is not required.

NOTE
If the operator normally wears a glove, this process
should be done with the glove(s) used in normal operation.
We do not recommend the use of Nitrile gloves in direct
contact with the Whizard® AirMax MACH 3 handles because
the gloves may become slippery.
Optional Thumb Support
Your Whizard® AirMax MACH 3 Trimmer has been supplied with a spacer ring and an optional thumb support. If using the optional thumb support, the operator’s thumb should be fully supported and rest comfortably in the support. The thumb support has been optimized to fit most hands comfortably.

SHARP BLADES MAY CAUSE INJURY!
Power Unit / Head Assembly - Attachment and Adjustment
The Whizard® AirMax MACH 3 Trimmers have been designed to allow the head of the tool to be rotated relative to the handle. In this way, the tool can be adjusted to align the blade with the product, while maintaining a comfortable position for the operator’s wrist.
The position that is selected should be based on the individual workstation, product, and operator. To determine the proper position, it will be necessary to observe the operator while trying various positions. Select the position which is most comfortable to the operator.
Note that left-handed tools are available for left-handed users. Do not assign a right-handed tool to a left-handed user.
