Cutting
Activate the trigger
Move the metal shears toward the item you wish
to work on. If possible, already run the shears
at full speed when applying them.
Note: The shears may take up to 8 seconds to
be fully ready for use and reach full force. Dur-
ing this time you should wait before applying the
shears to ensure better cutting results and treat
the device with care.
Note: Do not apply too much pressure whilst
cutting. Do not overburden the shears. In addition
to possible unclean cutting results, this could also
cause metal slivers to chip off and fly about.
Note: Metal slivers flying about can be very
dangerous!
Note: If the compressed air supply is tempo-
rarily cut off due to power failure or temporary
compressor failure, immediately release the trig-
ger
. If you now wish to continue working,

you must first remove the metal shears all the
way out of the work piece. You can then con-
tinue working.
When using the device always be aware of the
following items:
The shears must always operate at full speed.
This means, the compressor must always supply
sufficient pressure and air volume.
- Work slow. Slowly guide the shears along the
work piece and work without applying exces-
sive pressure.
- Move the shears smoothly.
- Do not tilt the shears.
Please tighten the screws of the cutter head re-
gularly and replace worn or damaged cutting
edges if necessary (see Fig. E).
Use the corresponding Allen key when doing this.
Check the cutter head after 2 minutes of conti-
nuous operation to ensure it is securely seated.
After initial use
Once the task has been finished the equipment must
be disconnect from the compressed air supply.

to start using the shears.

This first requires the pressure to be completely re-
leased from the lines.
Switch off the compressor.
To release potentially remainders of compressed
air, briefly activate the trigger
Pull back the lock.
Take off the coupler.
Spare parts / replacing
consumables
When replacing items, always be sure the com-
pressed air supply is disconnected!
Note: The shear head does not necessarily have
to be removed all the way. After loosening the
screws you can remove the parts of the cutter
blades to replace the defective part.
Use a fitting hex wrench to loosen the screws on
the underside of the shear head (see Fig. E). Re-
move the blades and replace the defective part.
During assembly be sure the blades are correctly
aligned.
First insert the lower blade.
Then insert the centre piece.
Then insert the marked ring. This is merely a spacer
between the upper and lower blade.
Now insert the upper blade and secure the shear
head with the screws.
Note: please note, the notches on the blades
must face the inside.
Cleaning and storage
To ensure a long life and trouble-free operation, it's
important to observe the following instructions.
Always disconnect the tool from the compressed
air source before cleaning it.
Clean your tool with a soft, dry cloth or lightly
blow it out with compressed air. Never use
caustic cleaners.
