4. PREPARATION
4.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig.1.
4.1.1. Ensure tool valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
4.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the tool. Too high an air pressure and/or
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
4.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
4.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 meters). The minimum hose diameter should be
1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A
quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See figs.1& 2.

fig.2
5. OPERATION
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
5.1. Remove the shears from the package. The tool should be assembled and ready to use.
5.2. Connect the shears to the air hose as in chapter 4.
5.3. To start the shears, depress the throttle lever.
DO NOT allow the shears to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
