General Safety Information
Read Operating Instructions
Always become familiar with all the instructions and
warnings before operating any pneumatic tool.
Always Wear Approved Eye protection
Impact resistant eye protection should meet or exceed
the standards as set forth in the United States ANSI
Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Eye and Face
Protection. Look for the marking Z87.1 on your eye
protection to insure that it is an approved style. For
further information, ANSI Z87.1. Occupational and
Educational Eye and Face Protection, is available from
the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West
nd
42
Street, New York, NY10036.
Hearing Protection is Recommended
Hearing protection should be used when the noise level
exposure equals or exceeds an 8 hour time-weighted
average sound level of 85dBA. Process noises,
reflective surfaces, other tools being operated nearby,
all add to the noise level present in your work area. If
you are unable to determine your noise level exposure,
we recommend the use of hearing protection.

Operation & Parts Manual
Air Shear
Description
The Husky model no. CAT822 Air Shear is designed for cutting
a variety of cold rolled, low carbon steel, aluminum, tin, and
almost plastic sheet up to 18 Gauge thick. Heavy-duty
aluminum house with soft-touch coating. Pistol grip for easy
handling. Adjustable cutting head for contour, side and
overhead cutting. High quality heat treated steel shear head for
long lasting cutting performance.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Vibration
Pneumatic tools can vibrate during use. Prolonged
exposure to vibration or very repetitive hand and arm
movements can cause injury. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. You should
consult your physician before resuming use of the tool.
90 PSIG Maximum
Husky tools are designed to operate at an air pressure
of 90 pounds per square inch gauge pressure (90 PSIG)
maximum, at the tool. Use of higher air pressure can,
and may cause injury. Also use of higher air pressure
places the internal components under loads and
stresses they were not designed for, causing premature
tool failure. The air supply should be clean and dry,
preferably lubricated. For best results drain the moisture
from your compressor daily.
