4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The fixture described in this manual is a pneumatic scissor model FP702 which is used in order
to quickly cut fabrics in the textile industry and other materials. It is extremely versatile, light
and precise in the cutting operation. Thanks to the use of a supporting front foot and of an
effective cutting system with a hexagonal blade it is possible to use the pneumatic scissors
to cut different materials. In particular the scissors have been planned to cut difficult materials
such as moquettes, polymeric materials, fiber glass, insulations and leather (even hide).
One special feature of pneumatic scissors FP702 is their ability to sharpen the blade in each
moment without disassembling it by means of a sharpener mounted on the scissors head.
After carrying out this operation, it is possible to start cutting again. The pneumatic scissors
are provided witha threaded connection formany air pipeline.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 FP702 are extremely light (they weight only 920 g) 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.

6. NOISE LEVEL
The maximum acoustic pressure level emitted by pneumatic scissors FP702 is about 60 dB
(A).
Noise tests have been carried out in compliance with Standard UNI EN ISO 11202. The
device noise levels, measured at different distances (without anysound wave filtering system),
vary in the extent of few db (A).
The noise level has been 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 FP702 owners toverify the compliance with the standard
concerning safety of workers: refer to the Local Law. The use of ear protecting devices is
compulsory.
Pneumatic scissors FP702 have been designed, manufactured and assembled to cutevery
kind of ordinary or technical fabrics, with the exception of metal, plastic or wood, by means
of rotary blades.
This equipment must not work:
- in areas prone to explosions;
- in presence of fine dust or corrosive gases;
- to cut plastic, metal and wooden materials.
It isforbidden to use pneumatic scissors FP702 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 relevant necessary
information.
•The pneumatic scissors work even without their safety protective device. 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 FP702 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 FP702 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.

9. RESIDUAL RISKS
10. USE
Even though the pneumatic scissors are safe, operators must pay attention to preserve
their and other people’s safety.


The cutting blade can work even when the protective device is disassembled.
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) Set the pressure gauge (option) to 6 bar;
4) Put the material on the cutting foot (see picture 4);
5) Adjust the front mobile protection according to the thickness of the material to be
cut;
6) Push the starting lever after moving the safety device (see picture 5);
7) 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
point (see point “B” in picture 6).

12. SHARPENER ADJUSTMENT
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 sharpening
push button “1” (as shown in picture 8), for 3-4 seconds.
Repeat this operation 2-3 times.
11. AIR PRESSURE GAUGE (OPTION)
13. LUBRICATION
Every 3-4 working days, 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 days (see picture 9) when
the machine is used without interruption.
Fill the plug again, once it has been tightened.
The blade must never be dirty with grease or oil.
WARNING
7
The pneumatic scissors must be necessarily fed with
lubricated air with a pressure of 4-6 bar.
Rasor®offers, as option, a reduction unit filter with a
pressure gauge already calibrated with the quantity
of oil to be delivered.
The unit shown in picture 7 is made up of:
1 - pressure reducer;
2 - valve to drain the condensate;
3 - drip-feed oiler unit;
4 - oil tank;
5 - pressure gauge;
6 - condensate tank;
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.

If the blade is no more able to cut (even after repeating
the sharpening operation several times) it is necessary
to replace it. In order to carry out this operation, use
butterfly key “1” and drift “3” locking the blade (shown
in picture 10).
In order to replace the blade, proceed as follows:
1) Use some protective gloves in compliance with
the Local Law of the Country where the machine
is to be used (use of personal protection
devices);
2) Remove the fixed rear safety protection “A” (see
picture 11) by unscrewing the two slotted screws
“C” by means of a screwdriver (not supplied by
the manufacturer) and by removing the spacers
“D” as shown in picture 12.
Remove the mobile rear safety protection “B”
(see picture 11) by unscrewing the pin “E”
and by removing the two washers “F” as shown
in picture 12.
3) Insert the drift “3” (see picture 13) in hole “G”,
in order to lock the blade (the hole in the blade
must correspond to the hole in the structure).
4) Use a butterfly key “1” in order to unscrew the
nut “H” (see picture 13) and remove the blade
“L” (see picture 14).
5) Replace the worn blade with the new one “2”,
being careful to center the blade on the gear,
in the correct position, and remember to
assemble it in order that the writing Rasor can
be seen by the operator.
6) Assemble all the components again and carry
out some cutting and sharpening tests.
