PrePAriNg the tooL For use
See Figure 2, page 11.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool oil
into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal use,
or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil at a
time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the
tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge
to be sure it is set at 90 PSI.
ADJustiNg the eXhAust
See Figure 3, page 11.
The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows
the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator
preference.
To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
iNstALLiNg/removiNg the BLADe
See Figures 4 - 6, page 11
 Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
 Using the hex key provided, turn the two hex screws on
the side of the tool counterclockwise to loosen.
 Insert blade until it is fully seated.
 Retighten both hex screws using the long end of the hex
key by turning clockwise as tightly as possible.
 Using the short end of the hex key, tighten each hex screw
an additional 1/8 turn clockwise to fully secure blade.
ChANgiNg PositioNs oF the shoe
AssemBLY
See Figures 7, page 12.
The position of the shoe is adjustable to help control the
depth of the cut.
to change position of the shoe assembly:
 Disconnect the air supply from the tool.
 Using the hex key provided, turn the front hex screw on
the top of the tool counterclockwise to loosen.
 Reposition the shoe assembly as desired.
 Retighten the hex screw by turning clockwise to secure
shoe in position.
Note: The shoe assembly will not lock into place if it is
extended too far. Make sure the shoe assembly is secured
before reconnecting the air supply.

CoNNeCtiNg the tooL to AN Air suPPLY
See Figure 8, page 12.
WArNiNg:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving the
work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing
the tool to another person. Failure to do so could result
in serious personal injury.
DANger:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases
as a power source for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at a maximum regulated pressure of 90 psi. The correct
air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
Note: Air pressure that is higher than 90 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that allows
all pressure to be removed from the tool when the coupling
is disconnected.
WArNiNg:
Always use a coupling that discharges all the compressed
air in the tool at the time the fitting or hose coupling is
disconnected. Using a coupling that does not discharge
the compressed air could cause unintended operation
and serious personal injury.
WArNiNg:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used
in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For
maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings
are required.
oPerAtiNg the shiNgLe Cutter
See Figure 9, page 12.
Hold the shingle cutter firmly in front of and clearly away
from you. Make sure blade is clear of any foreign material.
Be sure material to be cut is held firmly.
WArNiNg:
The tip of the shingle cutter blade is sharp. Do not touch
the blade or allow it to come in contact with anything
other than the material being cut. Failure to heed this
warning could result in serious personal injury.
