3. Intended use
The G300 cutter is designed and made for cutting hydraulic hoses.

4. Warnings on the machine
The machine is intended only for professional use. It should be operated only by trained personnel.
It is absolutely necessary to observe the Operating Instructions and warnings. Do not remove or
cover the warning stickers. Immediately replace damaged warning signs with new ones.
Keep hands far enough away
from moving parts during
cutting.
For technical reasons, some tool parts are not covered. Their travel is short and they move very
slowly. This limits the danger of injury, since the movement is small and the speed is low. However,
never let body parts get between these or any moving parts.
Additional warnings:
Warning of rotating machine
parts
Warning of hand injury
General warning
The noise developed by the equipment in operation has been measured as no higher than 70dB(A).

5. Components and Operating Instructions
5.1 Commissioning
Place the machine on an even and stable base. Use the adjustable foot to align the machine so that it
stands firmly and securely.
5.2 Components and function description
Figure 2
Legend, Fig. 2:
1. Emergency off and stop switch: press the switch to turn off the power supply (note: Even after
the motor is switched off the blade will still move because of momentum!)
2. Operate the switch to turn the cutter on.
3. Hose stop: keeps the hose steady for a good cut
4. Cutting: lever 4-1 extends the rod with the blade and presses it against the stop 4 and cuts.
5. Hose lever gap hole: extends the spacing between the two hose stands to facilitate the size of
the hose curve.
6. Blade guard: protects the operator from cut injury and in case of blade breakage.
7. The rollers are non-slip coated to keep the hose from slipping.

6. Care and maintenance
The machine should be cleaned every eight (8) operating hours and the bare metal surfaces of the
blade should be sprayed with a multi-purpose lubricating oil.
The machine table and rollers with non-slip coating should not be oiled.
It is better to lubricate frequently but sparingly, than rarely but lavishly. If not lubricated the machine
will lose pressing force and the sliding surfaces will be damaged.
7. Disposal
The separate, environmentally friendly disposal of materials encourages recycling of materials.
Therefore, after expiry of the normal service life, the equipment itself and all related components,
including the lubrication, packaging and wear parts, should be disposed of at a recyclables collection
point.
Packaging, equipment and accessories are made of recyclable materials and should be disposed of
accordingly.
If the unit is no longer serviceable, make sure it is unusable before disposal.
DANGER: If you do not have the necessary expertise, engage a specialist for dismantling and
disposal. INJURY HAZARD!
!!! Always observe local disposal regulations!!!
