UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the air nibbler from the package.
a. Retain packing material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily installed or operated
the air nibbler.
2. Make sure that all items in the parts list are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the air nibbler was not damaged while shipping.
OPERATION
NOTE: It is a good idea to make a practice cut on a piece of scrap material before cutting the work material. This will
allow you to be sure you are familiar with the way the tool operates, and that the cut can be made properly.
1. Follow all safety precautions already discussed.
2. Mark the line or shape to be cut on the work piece.
3. Ensure that your work piece is properly secure with clamps or other practical ways to support or secure the
work piece.
4. Grip the air nibbler firmly, and depress the throttle lever to begin cutting.
5. Introduce the sheet metal into the slot in the end of the die. Apply light pressure only to move the tool in the
desired direction through the material.
NOTE: If the air nibbler stalls while cutting, release the pressure on the throttle lever to turn off the tool.
Then, back the air nibbler out an inch and restart the cutting process.
6. If the air nibbler requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the maximum air
pressure rating of the air nibbler.
CAUTION! Do not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure rating. If the tool still does not have sufficient force at
the maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be required.
7. Do not allow the air nibbler to run freely for any length of time, as this will damage the bearings.
8. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in
the tool, and release the throttle and / or turn the switch to its off position after use. Clean external surfaces
of the tool with a clean, dry cloth, and apply a thin coat of tool oil. Then store the air nibbler indoors out of
children’s reach.
