4. Setup
Follow these steps to set up your pneumatic plastic cutter for first use:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the pneumatic cutter and any accessories from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Air Supply Connection: Connect a suitable air hose to the air inlet port of the tool. Ensure the connection is secure and leak-free. A quick-connect fitting is typically used.
- Air Pressure Adjustment: Connect the air hose to an air compressor. Adjust the air compressor's regulator to the recommended operating pressure (refer to specifications section). Do not exceed the maximum pressure.
- Lubrication: Before initial use, and periodically thereafter, apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet. This helps lubricate internal components and prolong tool life.
- Blade Installation (if separate): If the blade is not pre-installed, carefully attach it according to the diagram. Ensure the blade is securely fastened with the provided screw.

5. Operating Instructions
Operating the Yanmis HS20-F5 is straightforward, but proper technique ensures safety and optimal performance.
- Grip: Hold the tool firmly with one hand, ensuring a secure grip on the anti-slip knurled body.
- Positioning: Position the blades around the material to be cut. Ensure the material is fully within the cutting capacity of the blades.
- Activation: Press the start switch (trigger) to activate the pneumatic cutting action. The blades will close rapidly to make the cut.
- Cutting Technique: For best results, make a single, decisive cut. Avoid twisting or prying with the blades.
- Material Compatibility: This tool is suitable for cutting soft plastic up to 7.0mm and hard plastic up to 5.0mm, as well as various metal wires. Do not attempt to cut materials harder or thicker than specified.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Yanmis HS20-F5 Pneumatic Plastic Cutter.
- Disconnect Air: Always disconnect the air supply before performing any maintenance.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or residue. Ensure the blades are free of obstructions.
- Lubrication: Periodically (e.g., daily or weekly depending on usage), add 2-3 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet. This lubricates the internal motor and prevents corrosion.
- Blade Inspection and Replacement: Regularly inspect the blades for sharpness, chips, or damage. Dull or damaged blades can reduce cutting efficiency and potentially damage the tool. Replace blades as needed using genuine Yanmis replacement parts.
- Air Filter: Ensure your air compressor's air filter is clean and functioning correctly to prevent moisture and contaminants from entering the tool.
- Storage: Store the tool in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Disconnect it from the air supply when not in use.
