■S ide switch (1) forwards (I).
Switching the power too OFF:
■S ide switch (1) backwards (0).
On y approach the work-piece with the
power too once the machine has been
switched on and the fu speed has been
reached.
Guide the power too at an ang e of 90° to
the sheet meta surface.
Sharp cutters produce an exce ent cut
and exert ess strain on the power too .
Reverse the b ades in good time, or
rep ace them.
Setting the cutting width (6).
Risk of injury
by s itching the tool ON unintentionally.
Before adjusting, pull out the mains plug.
For a c ean cut without any burrs set the
cutting width (6a) between the fixed
b ades and p unger b ades.
Setting values for cutting width (6a)
When the power too is de ivered, the
cutting width (6a) is set at 0.2 mm and
corresponds with a sheet meta thickness
of approx. 1.0 mm. When working on
thinner or thicker sheet meta the fo ow-
ing va ues produce an optimum cutting
qua ity:
For a c ean cut without any burrs set the
cutting width (6a) between the fixed
b ades and p unger b ades.
■Unscrew the fixing screw for the fixed
b ade (6b).
■Unscrew the adjusting screw (6c) and
push back the fixed b ade.
■S ight y tighten the fixing screw (6b)
and set the cutting width (6a) using the
adjusting screw (6c) and a fee er gauge.
■Tighten the fixing screw for the fixed
b ade (6b).
■Check the cutting width (6a) using a
fee er gauge.
Reset the cutting width when a higher
feeding force is required because the cut-
ting width adjustment is too narrow, or
when excessive burr formation occurs
because the cutting width is too wide.
Reversing the blades (7).
Risk of injury
by s itching the tool ON unintentionally.
Before changing the tool, pull out the mains
plug.
Each b ade has four cutting edges. If the
cutters are b unt, turn the b ade through
