Setup Instructions
1. Every time you setup an AirPRO inspect the AirPRO,
toolholder, collet, and cutting tool for signs of wear or
other damage. Do not use worn or damaged tools with
the AirPRO.
2. Remove all dust or other contaminants from the
AirPRO, ER collet and toolholder, making sure the
threads are clean.
3. Snap the collet into the AirPRO.
4. Insert the cutter into the collet making sure the tool
reaches all the way to the bottom of the collet so
proper holding power is applied.
5. Use the cutter pre-set jig (sold separately) to accurately
set the cutter to the correct depth to maintain .070"
clearance between AirPRO and material. Clearance
from .060" up to .200" is acceptable, but .070" is opti-
mal.
6. Hand tighten the AirPRO, collet, and cutter
assembly into your toolholder.
7. Insert the assembly into a tightening stand and tighten
to correct specification using a torque wrench. See
other side for torque specifications.

Cutter Pre-Set Jig
For optimum performance use the pre-set jig to
accurately set tool depth to maintain .070" clearance
between AirPRO and material, while cutting .010"
into the spoil board.
