3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a pneumatic

tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area

from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-

ating a pneumatic tool. Do not use a pneumatic tool while tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating pneumatic tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose

clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Trigger (24) is off before connect-

ing to the air supply. Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the Trigger,

or connecting pneumatic tools to the air supply with the Throttle Lever on,

invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench

or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal

injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper

footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles under-

neath a full face shield, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing protection.

TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to

a stable platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of

control. Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured.

2. Do not operate pneumatic tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pneumatic tools create sparks

which may ignite flammables.

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas

invite accidents.

Page 4SKU 36567 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use the power tool if theTrigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with the Throttle Lever is dangerous and must be re-

placed.

4. Disconnect the air hose from the tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools

are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do

not use” until repaired.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,

cracking or breakage of the Blades (32, 34, 35), and any other condition

that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced

before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous

when used on another tool.

SERVICE

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow

instructions in the

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning”

section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions

may create a risk of injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Shear. These carry important informa-

tion. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

2. CAUTION! To avoid injury, keep hands and fingers away from the

Blades (32, 34, 35). Grip the Shear

firmly

with both hands. If both hands are

holding the Shear, your hands and fingers cannot be cut by the Blades.

3. Always use recommended replacement Blades. The recommended replace-

ment

Left

Blade (32),

Center

Blade (34), and

Right

Blade (35) are available as

SKU 36583 from Harbor Freight Tools.

4. To avoid accidental injury, always wear an ANSI approved safety impact full

face shield, hearing protection when operating the Shear. Also, always wear

heavy duty work gloves when handling sheet metal.

5. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recom-

mended 90 PSI. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any

other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.

6. When connecting to the air supply: Prior to each use, if an automatic oiler is

not

used, add two drops of air tool oil (not included) into the Air Inlet fitting of the

Shear.

7. Always disconnect the Shear from its compressed air supply source, and

squeeze theTrigger (24) to release all compressed air in the tool before

performing any maintenance or services.

8. Before using the Shear, make sure the Blades (32, 34, 35) are properly at-

tached to the tool. Make sure the Blades are not dull, cracked, or bent.

9. The Blades (32, 34, 35) of the Shear will become hot while cutting. Allow the

Blades to completely cool before touching.

10. Allow the Blades (32, 34, 35) to move at full speed before feeding them into

the workpiece. Do not force the Blades into the workpiece when cutting. Apply

moderate pressure, allowing the Blades to cut without being forced. When turning

off the Shear, allow the Blades to stop on their own. Do not press against the

Blades to stop them.

11. Be careful when handling sharp edges and curled up corners of cut materials.

Protect hands and fingers by wearing heavy duty gloves.

12. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

13. WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, cutting, grinding, drilling,

and other construction activities, contain chemicals known (to the State of Califor-

nia) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of

these chemicals are: lead from lead-based paints, crystalline silica from bricks

and cement or other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically

treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often

you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a

well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as

To Operate The Shear:

1. WARNING! Always wear an ANSI approved safety impact full face

shield, hearing protection when operating the Shear. Also, wear heavy duty

work gloves when handling sheet metal. NEVER touch the Blades (32, 34,

35) when the Shear is connected to the air compressor (not included).

2. IMPORTANT: Before first use, it is recommended to test the Shear on

scrap

material to determine the cutting capacity of the Blades (32, 34, 35).

3. Connect the air supply hose to the Shear. Turn on the air compressor, and set its

regulator to the recommended 90 PSI for the Sander. (See Figure A.)

4. In order to keep the air supply hose out of the way, hang it over your shoulder Grip

the Shear firmly with both hands.
