Operating instructions
1. Intended use. This Power Tool is intended for
industrial applications, for cutting sheet metal
(maximum capacity is indicated in the
Specifications), for use with cutting jaws and
cutting blades which are indicated in these
operating instructions or recommended by
DRÄCO.
2. Do NOT cut sheet metal along welding points. Do
NOT cut multi layer sheets, which exceed the
maximum cutting capacity.
3. Switching ON/OFF the power tool. First check
cable and plug for damage. Slide the switch pad
(5) BACKWARD for switching ON the power
tool. Slide the switch pad (5) FORWARD for
switching OFF the power tool.
4. For inside cutting, the shortest curve possible has
a radius of 45 mm (±1¾”). If cutting a radius with
the right hand, cut from right to left. The outside
radius is unlimited.
5. For cutting out curved or circular inside patterns,
a 14 mm (± 1/2 “) hole, or a punched slot should
be made to insert the centre cutter.
6. If after cutting, a small strip remains this can
easily be trimmed off to the exact measurement,
without leaving a burr or any distortion of the
material. Just one side of the power tools can be
used for cutting also (e.g. along a marked line).
Lift the power tools out of the shavings while the
motor is running. Cut off longer shavings.
7. Both knife and jaws can be sharpened. After
being sharpened or replaced, the knife at it’s
lowest point should protrude the jaws by
approximately 3 mm. The knife should have
approximately 0,05 mm (0,005”) play on each
side of the jaws, centring the cutter with spacing
shims supplied.
8. Every 200 operating ours have the cutting blade
and cutting jaws sharpened at a specialist
workshop.
9. Ensure that the material to be cut is free of oil
and grease.
Before working on machine disconnect from power
supply by removing plug from socket.
Always keep the machine and the ventilation slots
clean.
Oil the knife pin and knife at regular intervals.
If the machine should happen to fail despite the care
taken in manufacture and testing, repair should be
carried out by an authorised customer services agent
