1. Unscrew and remove the cutter’s sleeve (#1).
2. Unscrew and remove the nut (#2).
3. Unscrew and remove the screw cap (#3).
4. Pull the cutter out of the pushing rod (#5).
5. Replace the cutter, making sure the tip of the cutting edge fits snugly into the
pushing rod.
6. Reverse the steps above to re-assemble the air nibbler.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE AIR NIBBLER FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY WHEN CLEANING, REPLACING OR SERVICING.
(for best results you should incorporate
an air regulator with filter).
• Make sure the material to be cut does not exceed the capacity for this air
nibbler: maximum of 1.5mm for steel and 1.8mm for aluminium.
• Make sure the tool is connected to the air supply and the air pressure is at
90 PSI (6.2 BAR).
• On the material, make the line or shape to be cut.
• Grip the air nibbler firmly and depress the trigger to begin cutting.
• Apply light pressure to move the air nibbler through the material. If the air
nibbler stalls while cutting, release pressure on the trigger to turn off the tool.
• Then back the tool out an inch and restart the cutting process.
• The air nibbler is designed for cutting straight lines or gradual curves,
not 90 degree corners.
• When finished cutting, release pressure on the trigger to turn off the tool, then
disconnect the air nibbler from its compressed air supply source.
• Always work at the recommended air pressure. Tool life will be reduced if you
always work at pressure exceeding 90 PSI (6.2 BAR).
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they can be
caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and
non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair
covering to contain long hair.
Always wear impact safety glasses underneath a
full face shield during use. Also wear heavy duty work gloves.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do
not reach over or across running machines.
Keep tools sharp and clean for better and
safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. The handles must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and
grease at all times.
Check that the keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface
before starting work.
Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not
operate any tools when you are tired.
Before using any tool, any part that
appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will
operate properly and perform its intended function. Any part that is damaged
should be replaced.
When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your
judgment or reflexes will be impaired while taking drugs. If there is any
doubt, do not operate the tool.
• Inspect the tool carefully to make sure no parts are broken or damaged.
Never operate the tool until the damaged or missing parts are replaced.
• Disconnect the air hose before changing or adjusting any accessories.
• Ensure the tool is in the “off” position before connecting the tool to the air
hose.
Before each use, inspect the condition of the cutter. If dull or
damaged, the cutter should be replaced. To replace, follow these steps:

• If the length of the air hose you are using is within 3m, then it is recommended
that a hose with an inner diameter of 8mm is used.
• If the length of the air hose you are using is within 7m but longer than 3m,
then it is recommended that a hose with an inner diameter of 10mm or 12mm
is used.
Keep the hose away from heat, oil and sharp objects. A damaged
air hose should be replaced before use.
If necessary, wipe with a damp cloth. You may use a mild detergent or
non-flammable solvent.
• Before connecting the hose for operation, apply 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into
the air inlet and add a little lubricant on the nibble head. Do not use thick oils
such as engine oil as this may lead to reduced performance or malfunction.
• Oiling is necessary every 1-2 hours of continuous operation.
• After connecting the nibbler to the air supply, cover the exhaust hole with a
cloth and operate the tool for about 2 minutes in order to release excess oil.
direct the exhaust hole at yourself or others when operating.
• After use, remove the air hose and pour 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into the air
inlet and add a little lubricant at the nibble head, then connect the hose again
and run the tool for a few seconds. This will ensure oil is present in the tool
whist in storage and prolong the tool life.
• Avoid storing the tool in a location subject to high humidity, which may result
in rust deposits inside the tool.
