General safety rules
General safety rules / Before use / Start-up
If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or
whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands,
stop using the nibbler or shear, tell your employer
and consult a physician.
Operate and maintain the nibbler or shear as
recommended in this instruction handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration.
Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking
account of the required hand reaction forces,
because the risk from vibration is generally greater
when the grip force is higher.
Additional safety instructions
for pneumatic power tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
–
always shut off air supply, drain hose of air
pressure and disconnect tool from air supply
when not in use, before changing accessories
or when making repairs;
–
never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always
check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
Cold air shall be directed away from hands.
Whenever universal twist couplings (claw cou-
plings) are used, lock pins shall be installed
and whipcheck safety cables shall be used
to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or
hose-to-hose connection failure.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated
on the tool.
Never carry an air tool by the hose.
General safety
instructions for compressed
air metal shears
Always wear safety gloves.
Be careful whilst working with the shears. Edges
created on the work piece can cause cuts.
If possible, already run the shears at full speed
when applying them. Otherwise sudden, jerky
movement could result if the shears catch when
starting up at the front, resulting in backlash.
Before use
Installation
The device itself is fully functional at delivery. Using
the device may possibly (unless already built in) re-
quire a coupler to be attached (note the information
under Technical Data for the correct fit / size).
Wrap the coupler with Teflon tape (not included)
before screwing it into the compressed air unitn.
Wrap the tape as tightly as possible around
the thread. This will minimise the likelihood of
air leaking and optimise the work process.
Now screw the coupling into the compressed
air equipment.
Tighten the coupler into the compressed air unit
with a size 14 spanner using moderate force
(see Fig. A).
Adjusting the compressed air supply and
connections
Only use filtered, lubricated and regulated com-
pressed air.
Apply the connection method on the compressed
air unit shown in Fig. B. This will increase the ef-
fectiveness and life of the tool.
Set your compressor to the device‘s operating
pressure specified under Technical Data. Please
note, on average the pressure for 10 m of hose
will decrease by about 0.5 bar.
Excessive pressure is dan-
gerous! Never exceed the specified pressure!
Add a few drops of oil for compressed air tools
or SAE 10–20 motor oil to the compressed air
connection of the compressed air unit. Using other
oil (esp. viscous) will result in malfunctions, dam-
age or even total loss of the device.
Start-up
Connecting the
compressed air tool
Verify the work piece is properly supported.
Connect the compressed air by pushing on the
coupler of the hose with some force (see Fig. C).
