Intended use
The device, in conjunction with an appropriate cutting blade, is suitable for cutting and simultaneously sealing the edges of
cord, ropes, cables, belts and braided sleeves made of fully synthetic fibres such as polyamides, polyacrylonitrile, polyester,
polyethylene etc.
This assumes, however, that the material consists of fully synthetic fibres, w i t h o u t any non-fusible threads in the weft.
The cutting blade is directly electrically heated to approx. 600°C in 6 to 8 seconds by a safety transformer. Any
thermoplastic material that comes into contact with this cutting blade melts. In the fibre arrangement, the individual warp
and weft threads if close enough have a tendency to flow into each other, thereby forming an uninterrupted, sealed edge.
The edges sealed in this way do not fray, prevent tears and in many cases mean that there is no need for a hem.
Operation under adverse ambient conditions is not permitted.
Adverse ambient conditions are:
Wet conditions or excess humidity;
Dust and flammable gases, vapours or solvents;
Strong vibrations.
Safety information
For safety reasons, the unauthorised modification and/or alteration of the heat cutting machine is not permitted.
The voltage must be supplied using a regular mains socket on the public grid. Attention must be paid to the supply voltage
specified on the type plate.
Ensure that the heat cutting machine is correctly commissioned, paying attention to the Operating Instructions.
The commissioning must be performed by qualified staff in order to ensure the safe operation of this product.
Make sure that the power cord does not come into contact with heat, oil or sharp edges during operation of the machine.
Damaged power cords can cause fires, short circuiting and electric shocks.
Do not expose the heat cutting machine to high temperatures, strong vibrations or moisture.
Machines powered by mains voltage do not belong in the hands of children.
Please exercise special caution when children are present.
Damage caused by a failure to observe these Operating Instructions invalidates the warranty!
We will not assume any liability for consequential damage!
We will not assume any liability for damage to property or for personal injury caused by incorrect
use or failure to observe the safety instructions. All warranty claims will become invalid in these
cases.

In commercial establishments, the accident prevention regulations of the health and safety executive for electrical
installations and equipment must be observed.
Functional description
The machine is suitable for cutting and simultaneously sealing the edges of cord, ropes, cables, belts and braided sleeves
made of fully synthetic fibres such as polyamides, polyacrylonitrile, polyester, polyethylene etc.
The cutting blade is directly electrically heated to approx. 600°C in 6 to 8 seconds by a safety transformer. Any
thermoplastic material that comes into contact with this cutting blade melts.
Commissioning
When working in rooms, t
he vapours that arise on the cutting blade during cutting
must
be removed
directly using an extractor fan. Or only work in well-ventilated rooms.
PVC and PVC-coated materials may not be processed due to the harmful vapours arising during
cutting.
Pay attention to the risk of burns when using the machine!
The cutting blades can reach temperatures of approx. 700° Celsius. Do not touch the cutting blades
once you have switched the machine on. Do not lean the blade holder against objects before the
cutting blade has cooled down completely.
Danger! Danger to life due to electric shock!
A fatal electrical shock can result if water gets into the housing.
Keep the machine away from water.
If water does get in, pull the plug out immediately and do not continue to use the machine.
Side bracket, 2 pcs.
On the back is:
Power cord with
safety plug
and the fuseholder

Securing the support bracket on the housing: only M4 x 10 screws with washer and toothed washer may be used to
secure the support bracket.
Check whether the available mains voltage conforms to the voltage specified on the type plate.
Various cutting blades are available depending on the work at hand and the thickness of the material. Please refer
here to the heat cutting machines / cutting blades data sheet.
The cutting blade may only be inserted when the machine is switched off.
The toggle for the on/off switch is set to -0- .
This means: the signalling lamp on the on/off switch is not lit up.
Turn the power control dial to the left to the min. position -0- .
Secure the cutting blade in the blade holder.
Caution !
To guarantee perfect electrical continuity, it is important to ensure the cutting blade is screwed tight when
inserted. Poor connections or loose screw connections result in unnecessary heating of terminals, the
cutting blade output is reduced, and the heating of one or both terminals may damage the blade holder.
After activating the on/off switch, the machine is ready for use and the stand-by heat switched on.
This means: The signalling lamp on the on/off switch is lit up.
The cutting blade already heats up to approx. 100 -150 °C depending on the model.
Determining the temperature setting on the dial:
A specific temperature is needed in line with the material, thickness and cutting speed.
This setting is made using the temperature dial. After pressing the switch lever on the blade holder, the actual
working heat set using the power control dial (= temperature dial) is added to the stand-by heat.
After a few practice cuts, the operator will quickly get a feel for adjusting the cutting temperature and guiding the
blade holder with the cutting blade.
The effective settings for the power control dial (= temperature dial) should be determined empirically, because the
power needed by the cutting blades depends greatly on the type and thickness of the material to be cut, and is
therefore subject to strong fluctuations, especially when cutting shapes (round, oval, square, angular etc.) and with
respect to the length of the lead (power cable) between the transformer (housing) and blade holder (standard is
2m).
Setting
-Switch the machine on as described above.
-Activate the switch and keep it pressed.
-Turn the temperature dial slowly in a clockwise direction
until the cutting blade inserted is dark red.

The work or cutting surface should be made of a smooth material that draws as little heat as possible away from the
blade, leaving all of the power for the cutting process.
Glass that is 4 – 6 mm thick is ideal.
When work has been completed, the blade holder may be placed on the support bracket. The switch lever returns
automatically to its end position.
The switch lever must not be mechanically locked in place or bridged electrically.
Air-cooled blade holder (Option –K)
The machine may optionally be fitted with an air-cooled blade holder. Cooling air is blown into the blade holder through an
air hose installed in the power cable. This cools the blade terminals for the cutting blade and the power cable situated
inside. This enables powerful cutting blades to be used over a longer period without thermal overload to the blade holder.
A connector for cooling air and a throttle valve to adjust the cooling output is mounted on the back of the machine. Turning
this anticlockwise increases cooling output, while turning it in a clockwise direction reduces the cooling output.
Extractor fan (Option -ASV-M in conjunction with vacuum pump -ASP )
The machine may optionally be fitted in the factory or subsequently with a model ASV extractor fan.
With this, you will receive the following accessories:
1) Model ASP vacuum pump, equipped ready for operation with a motor protection switch and a 3 m
power cord with 400V/16A CEE plug. The intake air is supplied filtered to the pump via a
VF-11/4B 1.53.2.003 intake filter incl. C112 2.53.2.0005 filter cartridge.
2) Vacuum suction hose with steel wire spiral, Art. No.: 4480.012 Ident. No.: 113910 Ø i= 12mm / a=18mm
To ensure perfect functioning, it is important to ensure that the suction mechanism is clear (not blocked), and to
clean it if necessary.
All parts specified here can also be subsequently operated with an existing machine.
