OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:
Maximum inlet pressure is 4.0827 BAR (60 PSI). For longer tool and blade life it is recommended to
operate the tool at the lowest pressure to do the job or as indicated on the tool.
Tools should have an in line air filter to remove debris, water and particulates. Inline air filter and
regulator should be not more than 1.829 meters (6 feet) from the tool.
An inline lubricator will help to extend the life of the tool. Only use pneumatic oil in the lubricator. If no
lubricator is available place a few drops of pneumatic oil in to the air inlet of tool each week. Only lub-
ricants recommended by Simonds are to be used.
Only tools recommended and manufactured by Simonds are to be used on this power pack. Use of
other tools may constitute a hazard or void warranty.
After inserting lead component in to die (purchased separate) activate the tool with foot switch.
Air hose must be securely fastened to the air inlet prior to using. Be sure hose is tightened using the
proper tool. The air hose should have a .25 mm NPT (1/8”) thread attached that will screw in to the
tool end.
Air hose should be attached to air supply (air filtration system) securely. It is recommended that a
quick disconnect devise be used to attach air hose to air supply.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Inspect tools and hoses each day prior to operation. Air hose that is frayed, cut or abraded should be
replaced. Be sure that threads are clean and not worn.
If the tool is not in use and not positively disconnected from the energy supply, the energy supply sys-
tem must facilitate isolation and dissipation of pressure by a suitable and lockable shutoff device in
order to prevent unexpected start-up.
Beware of hair, fingers, ties, loose clothing etc. when operating the tool. Keep away from moving
parts.
Always wear eye protection when operating the tool. Beware of ejection of cuttings or chips. Turn
head to avoid being exposed to this operation.
Beware that working on brittle material may cause harmful splinters.
Always disconnect from air supply when changing tool, during repair, adjusting and inserting tools,
maintenance and cleaning operations.
Simonds tools are not designed for use in explosive atmospheres.
Simonds tools are not insulated for coming in to contact with electric power sources.
Do not use tools near personnel where risk of flying debris may hit them.
Do not point or aim tool at another person.
Unsecured or cut air hose may cause a whipping action which may result in injury.
Do not use any attachments not manufactured by Simonds for this tool. Injury may result.
If the tool is used on a bench stand or a work station be sure that the tool is fastened properly.
Dispose of tool and material as recommended by local disposal regulations.
Simonds tools are not for use other than on production line. Tool should not be used as a hammer or
pry bar. A “two hand control” may be required depending on the attached tool.
DO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED WIRE SIZE OR AIR PRESSURE. Exceeding the
recommended wire size for the jaws may cause damage to tool or injury to user.
