Operation Overview
To complete a typical cutting operation, the following is done:
1.Put on safety goggles and gloves.
2.Mark the cut line, secure the workpiece, and clamp a guide to the workpiece if needed.
3.Determine if the swivel head needs to be rotated for optimum tool control and cut line viewing.
•If so, loosen the swivel head cap screw (see Figure 1, on Page 5), rotate the head to the required angle, and retighten the cap screw.
4.Apply a few drops of air tool oil on the jaws and in the air inlet fitting.
5.Connect the air supply hose to the pneumatic shear.
6.Engage the tip of the jaws against the edge of the sheet metal.
7.Pull the trigger, and in a controlled manner, push the shear into the workpiece to begin cutting. As the cut progresses, keep the angled slide (see Figure 1, on Page 5) flat against the surface of the sheet metal, so the jaws and sheet metal do not bind.
8.When finished, or if leaving the area, disconnect the shear from air, and store it away from children.
