Operation

WARNING:

Ensure the material to be cut does not exceed the cutting capacity of this device.

Note:

Always mark the line or shape to be cut on the material.

1. Grip the tool and depress the Speed Control Trigger (3) to start the tool
2. Apply light pressure to move the blades through the material, as shown in Fig. I

Note:

If the device stalls whilst cutting, release pressure on the speed control trigger to turn OFF the

tool. Pull back from the cutting edge. Depress the trigger to restart the cutting process and slowly

engage the cut.

3. Release pressure on the Speed Control Trigger to finish cutting

Note:

This device is designed for cutting straight lines and gradual curves, not 90° corners.

Note:

DO NOT allow the shear to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period of time. This will

shorten its life.

WARNING:

Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure

from the tool after shutting off air supply.

Accessories

• Accessories for this tool, including spare blades (Centre Shear Blade, Left Shear Blade, and Right

Shear Blade), are available from your Silverline stockist

Maintenance

WARNING:

Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before cleaning or carrying out

any maintenance.

Replacing blades

Note:

Periodically inspect and replace blades as necessary. All three blades are available to purchase

separately (see ‘Accessories’), however, it is recommended to always replace them as a set.

1.  Remove the Blade Retaining Hex Bolts (2) using the Hex Key (7)
2.  Remove the centre blade first, then the left and right blades and bushing
3.  Replace with new blades. Place the bushing between the new left and right blades (see Fig. II),

and insert into the Blade Assembly (1)

4. Insert the three previously removed Blade Retaining Hex Bolts into the body of the blade

assembly, and tighten all three bolts with the hex key

Cleaning

• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and

shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth

IMPORTANT:

There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it should be noted that

when an air tool fails to work it is generally because the internal workings have corroded due to

dirty, wet air and failure to follow the instructions given below.

Daily maintenance procedure:

Disconnect from the air supply, pour a few drops of oil into the air

intake. Operate the machine at low speed to thoroughly lubricate all internal workings.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a combined filter/lubricator

must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted at all times

• Use air tool oil. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE NORMAL ENGINE OIL
• Failure to comply with the operating and maintenance instructions may invalidate the guarantee
