Product Information

The product is an air beveler, designed for cutting and shaping various materials. It comes with a carbide tip and accessories such as T-type allen wrenches, guide roller, and safety instructions. The carbide tip is available in R3 and C3 options for rounding and radiusing the edges. The beveler is made in Japan by Shinano Inc.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Before using the beveler, read the safety instructions provided. Always wear gloves, ear/eye protection, and other protective equipment as required.
2. Ensure adequate ventilation when using the product, as cutting may produce potentially hazardous dust.
3. Before changing the carbide tip, always shut off the air supply.
4. To mount the carbide tip securely onto the cutter holder, firmly attach it.
5. For long life span of the carbide tip and to prevent sticking of cutting chips, the beveler blows cooling air automatically.
6. Check that the clamp screws of the cutter holder are tight before using.
7. Preparation for Operation:
   • Connect the coupler onto the air inlet of the handle on the switch side.
   • Pour approximately 0.5cc (2 to 3 drops) of oil through the coupler. Connect it to the air hose and run it for 3 to 5 seconds to circulate the oil.
   • The switch can be of two types: safety lever type and rotary twist type.
8. Set up:
   • Apply the guide roller and cutter holder tip to the worked area and check the cut points.
   • Set up the tool bit apart from the work and start the switch slowly. Do not start the tool immediately after applying the tip to the work to avoid damage to the tip or injury.
   • Cut the work proceeding in parallel along the work and in the same direction as the tool’s rotating direction (clockwise rotation).
   • Follow the same procedures for curvature processing and inner circumference processing.

Note: The maximum RPM of the beveler is 10,000rpm. The air inlet is equipped with a 360-degree swivel exhaust. The product comes with carbide tips, safety instructions, T-wrench, and L-wrench as accessories.

Tip Replacement Procedures

Tip Removal Method

1. Lay the tool reversely so that the cutter holder unit can be exposed.
2. The tip is fixed by a clamp screw. Insert the T-type wrench through the notch hole of the base plate in the tip clamp screw head.
3. Retain the tip with fingers from the reverse side so as not to drop. Swinging it left or right, rotate it counterclockwise, and release the lock for removal.
4. Remove 2 pieces of remaining clamp screw in the same procedures.

Carbide tip Mount Method

1. If accustomed to running, it is not required to remove the guide roller. However, it is first required to remove it with the L-type wrench for easy operation, and easy observation of the blade unit.
2. First pre-insert the clamp screw in the cutter holder screw hole to the 80 to 90 percent extent thereof Attach the tip tight to the surface from the opposite side. Insert it at 2 points in the positioning notch area. Retaining it with fingers, and swinging left or right with T-type wrench, so as to proceed to the outside. Finally turn it to the inside, and firmly lock it for fixture.
3. Similarly, mount 2 pieces of remaining clamp screw with same procedures.

Warning: Make sure if the clamp screw head should protrude from each tip surface.

Tip Replacement Period

• If chip abrasion deepens, the chamfering size will be changed.
• If a cutter mark protrudes for replacement target, a chip angle should be changed or a chip replaced with a new product.
