PowerParer® Foot Trimmer

Trimming hooves of sheep, goats and camelids.

• 12.5" long
• 2.5" diameter
• Aluminum with high quality steel blades
• "Air" needs are 80 psi, but only 1/2 cu. ft./min.
• Can be operated by a small compressor or even an "air pig".
• Made in Australia.

This is a much safer tool than most assume because the cutter stops instantly when switch is released. It's less risk than a hand tool.

Operating Instructions:

• The shears have been designed to operate from an air supply at a pressure of 70 to 100 lb per square inch.
• DO NOT operate above 100 lbs per square inch.
• The shears are held in the palm of the hand, with the first and second fingers operating the trigger.
• The blades will follow the finger movement implicitly; if trigger is pressed, blades will close, if finger stop, blades will stop, if fingers open, blades will open.
• It must be realized that the amount of pressure on the trigger in no way assists the cutting action, only light pressure is needed.
• If the blades top in the cut, then the cut is too heavy, and pressure on trigger should be released, and a smaller cut started.
• This will only happen if hooves are very hard, cutting blades are dull, or air pressure is too low.
• The blades return to open position, when trigger is released.

• Lubricate the shears every four hours and keep blades sharp.
• The filter bush contains a sponge pad to hold a small quantity of oil and prevent the entry of dirt via the air supply.
• The filter bush should be unscrewed, and the filter washed thoroughly (or replaced) at least every three months in heavy use.
• Blades can be sent to Premier for resharpening or done by anyone who sharpens scissors.

1. Turn off air supply.
2. Relieve air pressure inside tool by pressing trigger.
3. Undo air hose nut.
4. Pull out air hose nipple and place 8 - 10 drops of light oil [containing anti-rust such as WD 40 or CRC 3-36, (one part to ten parts of oil)] into the filter/bush, every four hours of operation. This will lubricate all of the internal parts.
5. In addition, the other parts to be oiled are the center pivot point, the two actuating pivot points, the roll pins in the trigger, and the linkage at four hour intervals.

Blades and machine can rust. Make sure to put oil/anti-rust product on them when storing for long periods of time.

Blades don't open during use:

• You do not have enough air pressure.
• You have a piece of hoof stuck between the blades.

• You do not have enough air pressure.
• Check your air supply.
• Make sure the connections are correct.
