The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic scissor model FP862MT which has been
designed to cut composite materials such as Kevlar, fiberglass or carbon fibre. It is extremely
versatile, light and precise in the cutting operation, suitable also for very difficult cuttings.
One special feature of pneumatic scissors FP862MT is their ability to sharpen the blade in
each moment without disassembling it by means of a grinding wheel mounted on the
scissors head. After carrying out this operation, it is possible to start cutting again. The
pneumatic scissors are provided with a threaded connection to the pneumatic circuits. The
turbine, perfectly balanced, with a high number of revolutions and totally free of maintenance,
reduces the vibrations and the noise to the minimum.
The pneumatic scissors can be used also outdoor and to cut damp or wet materials and
therefore particularly recommended in tannery, dyeworks, etc.
The pneumatic scissors FP862MT are extremely light (they weight only 1 Kg) and handy
and allow carrying out quick and precise cuts, even with curve profiles. The use of compressed
air as source of energy allows working continuously without problems of heating or
motor overload. The mechanical parts are made up of steel and high resistant bronze and
require a lubrication after many working hours.

The maximum acoustic pressure level emitted by pneumatic scissors FP862MT is about 60 dB
(A).
Noise tests have been carried out in compliance with Standard ISO 11202. The device noise
levels, measured at different distances (without any sound wave filtering system), vary in
the extent of few db (A). The noise level has beeen detected with the silencer supplied
with the fixture assembled on the exhaust. The silencer must never be removed.
NOTE
It is advisable for pneumatic scissors FP862MT owners to verify the compliance with the
standard concerning safety of workers: refer to the Local Law. The use of ear
protecting devicesiscompulsory.
Pneumatic scissors FP862MT have been designed, manufactured and assembled to cut every
kind of fabrics or materials, with the exception of metal, plastic or wood, by means of rotary
pentagonal or octagonal blades.
This equipment must not work:
-inareaspronetoexplosions;
- in presence of fine dust or corrosive gases;
- to cut plastic, metal and wooden materials.
It is forbidden to use pneumatic scissors FP862MT for purposes different from the
above-mentioned ones.

8. USE WARNINGS
We recommend following the indications below in order to always work in safety conditions.
All the operations must be carried out complying strictly with the safety rules of the
country where the machine is to be installed.
It is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN to smoke during the installation or adjustment operations of
the pneumatic scissors.
The Customer undertakes to comply with and make his staff observe all the rules and
regulations in force concerning safety, prevention of accidents and health in the work
place. Therefore, the Customer assumes the responsibility to strictly follow all the rules and
regulations in force, as well as the special provisions in force in sport and public installations
the Customer declares to know after receiving all the relative necessary information.
The pneumatic scissors work also without their safety protective device and
when the protection guard is lifted. This protective device must NEVER be
removed.
Always check the resistance of the material to be cut and the kind of blade which is being
used.
The Customer shall equip his own personnel with all the individual safety protections for
the execution of the works, as well as with the ones which might be prescribed by the
Manufacturer due to specific danger conditions of the plant or of the area where the
personnel must work.
Only one operator must use the pneumatic scissors always standing behind the guide
handle. Do not make any adjustment while the blade is working.
Always pay attention to the position of the air pipe to prevent it from being cut or
damaged by the blade.
It is allowed to assemble pneumatic scissors FP862MT on machines O.E.M. on condition
that their original structure is not modified. Otherwise, the intervention must be certified
by Rasor®.
The pneumatic scissors FP862MT are equipped with double safety push button with a
lever and a ratchet on the handle: the ratchet prevents the start push button from being
enabled accidentally, the lever operates the scissors. Never remove the ratchet.

Even though the pneumatic scissors are safe, operators must pay attention to preserve their
and other people’s safety.
To use the pneumatic scissors manually, proceed as follows:
1) Lay the material to be cut on the table;
2) Connect the air hose to the quick connection “A” (not supplied) (see picture 3);
3) Adjust the pressure gauge (optional) on 6 bar;
4) Put the material on the cutting foot (see picture 4);
5) Push the starting lever after moving the safety device (see picture 5);
6) Push the pneumatic scissors in the desired direction, being careful to keep the material
in front of them as stretched as possible and preventing it from curling in the front
part of the scissors.
NOTE
The thrust on the pneumatic scissors must be as uniform as possible. To carry out linear cuts
with precision (and to follow predetermined paths), we also recommend using the arrow
pointonthefrontprotection(seepoint“B”infigure6).

13. LUBRICATION
The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.

WARNING A
The pneumatic scissors must be necessarily fed with
lubricated air with a pressure of maximum 6 bar.
Rasor®offers, as optional, a reduction unit filter with
a pressure gauge already calibrated with the quantity
of oil to be delivered as optional.
The unit shown also in picture 7 is made up of:
1 - pressure reducer;
2 - valve to drain the condensate;
3 - drip-feed oiler unit;
4-oiltank;
5 - pressure gauge;
6-condensatetank;
7 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to
the network;
8 - pipe fitting to connect the quick connection to the scissor.
For the use and maintenance read the instruction sheet supplied with the filter.
After using the machine for some hours without
interruption, or if the machine cutting capacity
is reduced, it is necessary to sharpen the blade.
To carry out this operation, start the blade and
press sharpener “2” on the blade itself (by means
of push button “1”, as shown in picture 8) for 3-
4 seconds. Repeat this operation 2-3 times.
Every 3-4 working hours, it is necessary to lubricate the
gear pair. In order to carry out this operation, remove
protective plug “A” located on the head of the pneumatic
scissors and fill it with the grease supplied. Screw plug
“A” again a few turns. Screw plug “A” a few turns every
2-3 working hours (see picture 9).
