Tools with clutches can stall rather than shut-off if ad-
justed over the maximum power output of the tool, or if
there is a drop in air pressure. Operator must then resist
the stall torque until the throttle is released.
Higher torque Airetrols, inline and right angle, are sup-
plied with a torque reaction bar designed to work with the
torque of the tool it is specified for. These bars can be
bracedagainst thework orother suitablepoints toabsorb
andrelieve theoperator of thetorque reactiontransmitted
bythe tool.Toolbalance armsarealso availableto absorb
thetorquereactionof thetoolwhilebalancing the weightof
thetool for improvedergonomic applications.
Whenusing rightangleAiretrols withlever typethrottles,
besure thethrottle is positionedrelative tothe anglehead
so that the throttle will not become wedged against an
adjacentobjectin the “ON”positiondue to thetorquereac-
tion.The angle headmay berepositionedwith therespect

tool is to be reversed, locate the throttle lever in a neutral
position that will prevent entrapment. Refer to operating
instructionsfor additional information.

ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIP-
MENT
moving components can entangle and enwrap, and can
resultin serious injuries.Never wear longhair,loose fitting
clothes, gloves, ties or jewelry when working with or near
any power tool with an exposed rotating shaft or spindle.

Safety Recommendations
ThisAiretool product isdesigned to operateon minimum
90 psig ( 6.2 bar ), maximum 125 psig ( 8.6 ) air pressure.
Ifthe tool isproperly sizedandapplied, higherairpressure
isunnecessary.Excessiveairpressure increases theloads
and stresses on the tool parts, mandrels, rolls and cages
andmay resultin premature wearand orbreakage. Instal-
lation of a filter-regulator-lubricator in the air supply line
aheadof thetool isrequired.
Before the tool is connected to the air supply, check the
throttlefor properoperation (i.e., the throttle moves freely
and returns to the closed “OFF” position when released ).
Clear the air hose of accumulated dust and moisture. Be
carefulnotto endanger adjacentpersonnel.Before remov-
inga toolfromservice orchanging sockets,make sure the
air line is shut off and drained of air. This will prevent the
tool from operating if the throttle is accidently engaged.
NOTE : ANY USE OF THIS TOOL OTHER THAN IT’S
INTENDED PURPOSE COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAM-
AGE TO THE TOOL AS WELL AS POSE A RISK TO
THEOPERATOR.

STRESSFUL POSTURES SHOULD BEAVOIDED AND

Any user sufferingfrom prolongedsymptoms oftingling,

enedgrip,nocturnal pain inthehand, or anyotherdisorder
ofthe shoulders, arms,wrists, orfingersis advisedto con-
sultwith aphysician. Ifit isdetermined thatthe symptoms
arejobrelated oraggravatedby movementsandpostures
dictated by the job design, it may be necessary for the
employertotakestepstopreventfurtheroccurrences.These
steps might include, but are not limited to, repositioning
theworkpiece orredesigningtheworkstation, reassigning
workers to other jobs, rotating jobs, altering work pace,
and/or changing the type of tool used so as to minimize
stressonthe operator. Sometasksmayrequiremore than
one type of tool to obtain the optimum operator/tool/task
relationship.
The followingrecommendationswill helpreduceor mod-
eratethe effectsof repetitivework motions :
• Use a minimum hand grip force consistent with
propercontroland safeoperation.
• Keep wrists as straight as possible.
• Keepbody andhands warmand dry.
It is essential for safe operation that any operator of an
Airetrolusegoodbalance,surefooting,and proper posture
in anticipation of a torque reaction. Ensure that the
operator’s hands will not be wedged or pinched between
thework andthe toolwhen operating.
• Avoidanything thatinhibits blood
circulation
- Smoking tobacco
-Coldtemperatures
-Certain drugs
• Avoidhighlyrepetitive movementsofthe
handsand wrists,and continuous vibration
exposure.

To start, check the following list to make sure you
have selected the proper tools and that they are properly
set up for your application.
A. Check that you have selected the proper size
tubecutter andthat youhave installed the proper
pilot to fit the tube gage to be cut.
B. Check that you have the proper R.P.M. motor.
Seecutting speedselection guide on page X of
this manual. Be sure that the dead handle is ins
talledwrench tight. Haveassistant to hold dead
handleduringoperation.
C. Check that proper tool bits are installed in the
tubecutter.Three typesof bitsareavailable, non
ferrous,ferrous andstainless.
D. Check that the depth of cut is proper for the
application. Make sure that the thrust collar is
so that the bits will cut BEHIND the tube sheet.
E.Havea container ofanygoodcutting oilanddip
cutter bits into it after every two or three tubes,
dependingontube material.
F. Havea containerof solventforwashing orflush
ingthe chipsout ofthe cutterbit areaof thecutter
afterevery few cuts.
CUTTINGTHETUBES
Now you are ready to cut the first tube. Dip the cutter
bodyand bitsinto the cutting oil. Makesure thecutter bits
arein theretracted positionand insertthe cutterbody into
the tube to be cut. Insert until the taper of the thrust collar
is against the end of the tube, centering the cutter in the
tube I. D. Start the motor, air or electric. Place forward
pressure on the operating lever to feed the cutter bits into
thetube I.D. NOTE : “PIC” TYPE CUTTER, PUSH FOR-
WARDONTHEMOTOR. Alightbutsteadypressureshould
beapplied to theoperating leverduringthe cut.As the bits
start to break thru the O. D. of the tube CAUTION should
be taken to lighten the pressure on the operating lever to
preventthecutterbitsfromgrabbingcausingthemtobreak.
After the tube is cut off, make sure that the cutter bits are
intheclosedorretracted position beforeremovingthetube
cutterfromthe tube.Dipthe cutterbitsinto thesolventand
flush chips out of the cutter as needed. Repeat the above
steps and cut the remainder of the tubes to be cut.
We recommend that a cutting oil be used by either dip-
ping the cutter bits into it or by inserting some of the oil
into the ends of the tubes. We also recommend that the
cutterbe submergedinto asolvent andcutting oilsolution
to clean the chips out of the cutter. Dip the cutter bits into
thesolutionwhilemovingtheoperatingleverbackandforth.
FREQUENTLY inspect the cutter bits for sharpness, re-
placing if dull. See replacing the tool bits page 13. Proper
tool bit care is very important in operating your Airetool
tubecutter.NOTE :Toolbitscanbe sharpenedif removed
fromthe cutterbefore theyget tohot from dulling and turn
blue. See sharpening the bits on page 14.
The above instructions apply to all standard and extra
reach Airetool tube cutters models “EIC”, “PIC” and “TIC.

POINTS FOR GOOD TUBE CUTTING
1. KEEP BITS COOL - This will extend the bits life. It possible, use a flushing system of air and some type of good
cuttingfluid.
2. DO NOT FORCE FEED - To much pressure of the tool bits can cause the bits to puncture thru the tube wall which
may cause the bits to break.
3. KEEP BIT AND MANDREL AREA CLEAN OF CHIPS - Cleaning of the chips from the area of the tool bits
andmandrel willallowfor freemovement ofboth. Chips inthis areacan causethe mandrel andor toolbits to bindand break.
4. SHARPEN TOOL BITS - Sharpentool bits,per abovespecifications, beforethey are allowed to wearand overheat.
Overheating will remove thetemper from thetool bit sothat sharpening willnot last verylong. KEEP BITS COOL !
5. TOOL BIT SELECTION - Feed angels of the tool bit are very important for the type of material that is being cut. Be
sure that you are using the proper tool bits!
6. PROPER CUTTING SPEED -Thisis veryimportantfor proper cuttingand fortool bitlife. See R.P.M. recommenda-
tions on page 18 in this manual.
