4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. MAINTENANCE
fig 1
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
4.1. Remove the scissors from the package. The tool should be assembled and ready to use.
4.2. Connect the scissors to the air hose as in chapter 3.
4.3. To start the scissors, depress the trigger.
DO NOT allow the scissors to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
fig 2
3.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure tool valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating the
tool. Too high an air pressure and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive
wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
meters). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same
inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool. To
overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may then be used
to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.
3. PREPARING TOOL FOR USE
 WARNING!Disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, servicing or
performing maintenance.Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only.
Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Note: Numbers in brackets refer to item numbers in the parts diagram.
5.1. To replace the blades (34 and 35), loosen the three lock screws (32) and slide the cutter
housing (31) off the gear case (27). Remove the two lock screws (32) that secure the blades
(34, 35 and 37) and remove the blades.
Fit new blades, ensuring the spacers (36) are correctly positioned and refit the lock screws.

Slide the cutter housing onto the gear casing and secure using the lock screw. Tighten all
three lock screws.
5.2. If the system does not have an oiler lubricate the tool daily with a few drops of Sealey air tool
oil dripped into the air inlet.
5.3. Clean the tool after use.
5.4. Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the following:
a) Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size
or type of hose connector. To remedy check the air supply and follow instructions in
chapter 3.
b) Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce performance. Flush the tool out with
gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE No 10 oil and paraffin.
Allow to dry before use.
5.5. For a full service contact your local Sealey service agent.
5.6. When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean tool and store in a safe, dry,
childproof location.

Environmental Protection.
Recycle unwanted materials instead of disposing of them as waste.
All tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted, taken to a recycle
centre and disposed of in a manner which is compatible with the environment.

WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): 4.78 m/s²
Uncertainty value(k): 0.5868 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission.
We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for
each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of
Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures
can be modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from
the uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain
warm and dry and maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please
refer to the Correct Use and Maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration
can be found on the HSC website www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
