ENGINEERING INFORMATION
How to Sharpen Cutter Jaws
• Remove nicks in jaws by filing straight across cutting edges
• On jaws with equal bevels, file equally from each bevel, keep file
flat against bevel
• On jaws with one large bevel, file on that bevel, small bevel must
also be restored
• Jaws should not be razor sharp
• Approximately 1/64" (.4mm) should remain flat to form strong,
durable edge
• Adjust tool according to the instructions below
• To sharpen shear-cut blades (blades that pass each other like
scissors) remove nicks by filing straight across cutting edges
• Finish by running a flat file over inner jaw surface to remove burrs
How to Adjust the Cutter Jaws
• An adjustment screw is located on the cutter
handle above the toggle joints
• If jaw edges are too far apart with handles
closed, tighten adjusting screw, this brings
cutting edges together
• Cutting edges should be 1/64" (.4mm) apart
for longest jaw life
• Oil all joints
• If jaw edges are too close together with the
handles apart, loosen adjusting screw until it
disappears from the narrow slot in the handle
• Make a cut with the tool in this position (cut will
force the slot inward)
• Try to close the handles. If they do not close
completely and jaw edges are 1/64" (.4mm)
apart, tighten adjusting screw to meet the
handle on far side of slot
• Oil all joints
• If jaws are too far apart with handles closed
after making cut with adjusting screw backed
off, tighten adjusting screw as explained above
• To sharpen shear-cut blades (blades that pass
each other, like scissors), remove nicks by
filing straight across the cutting edges
• Finish by running a flat file over inner blade
surface to remove burrs.
Nicholson^® File Recommendations
For Jaw
Type
Straight

Straight w/Notch
Notched
Use File Type
6", 8" or 10" Mill Bastard
8", 10" or 12" Half Round Bastard
8", 10" Mill Bastard with one round edge
8" or 10" Round Bastard
• Choose file size according to size of jaw and/or radius
of curve
• Half round files are the most versatile

• All HKP air-powered tools require ram lateral input supply of 80-120 psi
(6-8 kg/cm²)
• 9190 Series: 6.9 CFM or 8 CFM with factor of safety
