Before operating the air shears, ensure proper setup:
- Compressore d'aria: Connect the air shears to an air compressor capable of delivering the required CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) and PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) for the tool. Refer to the specifications section for details.
- Tubo dell'aria: Use a durable air hose with a minimum inner diameter of 3/8 inch. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free.
- Filtro aria/lubrificatore: Install an in-line air filter to remove moisture and debris from the air supply. An in-line lubricator is recommended to ensure proper lubrication of the tool's internal components.
- Regolatore: Use an air pressure regulator to set the operating pressure to the recommended PSI.
- Lubrificazione iniziale: Before first use, add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet.

- Connetti aria: Collegare il tubo dell'aria all'ingresso dell'aria dell'utensile.
- Imposta pressione: Adjust the air regulator to the recommended operating pressure (typically 90 PSI).
- Grip Tool: Hold the air shears firmly with both hands if possible, or with a secure grip on the pistol handle.

Manutenzione
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air shears:
- Lubrificazione: Add 5-10 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each use, or every few hours of continuous operation. This lubricates the motor and extends tool life.
- Filtro dell'aria: Regularly check and drain the air filter to remove accumulated moisture.
- Lame: Inspect blades for sharpness and damage. Replace dull or damaged blades promptly. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for blade replacement.
- Pulizia: Mantenere l'utensile pulito e privo di detriti. Pulire l'esterno con un panno pulito. Non utilizzare solventi aggressivi.
- Magazzinaggio: Conservare l'utensile in un ambiente asciutto e pulito quando non in uso. Scollegarlo dall'alimentazione dell'aria.
