3. Loosen the nut with a wrench of the size 10 and
remove the cutter. Insert a new cutter into the
die and lightly grease the sliding surfaces
between the die and the cutter.
4. Please observe the correct position of the cutter
into the die.
5. Re-tighten the lock nut (3)

Air Pressure and Air Volume


Operate the air nibbler with a pressure of 6.0 bars using a compressor with an
air suction capacity of at least 170 l/min. The ideal capacity is provided by
compressors with a suction capacity of 300 – 400 l/min. Using higher pres-
sure for operating the air nibbler will drastically reduced the self life.

Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up
the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease approx.
0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.

Maintenance and Care


To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent lubrication and
maintenance is essential.

For operating pneumatic tools clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust
and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will
cause technical problems. An upstream maintenance unit consisting of filter,
pressure regulator valve and lubricating equipment removes moisture and dirt
from the air, controls the working pressure and supplies the tool perfectly with
lubricating oil.

If necessary clean the unit with a moist cloth.

Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which
may dissolve plastic parts.

Do not allow liquids to enter the unit and never immerse it into liquids. Water
in the compressed air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is recom-
mended to drain the air lines and the compressor regularly! The air filters
should be cleaned at least once a week.
