General Safety Rules
2 General Safety Rules
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and|or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the
warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or
battery operated (cordless) power tool, also machines and electric units.
Save these instructions.
Work Environment
− Keep work area clean and organized. Cluttered and dark areas might trigger
accidents.
− Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence
of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
− Keep persons away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
− Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
− Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
− Do not expose power tools to rain or humidity. Water penetrating a power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
− Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
− When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
Personal Safety
− Stay alert, be aware what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
− Use safety gear and always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, anti-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
− Avoid unintended starts. Make sure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents. Do not manipulate the switch.
− Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
− Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

QuickSeal®Cutter 7
General Safety Rules
− If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can
reduce dust related hazards.
Care and Usage of Power Tools
− Do not overload the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it
was designed.
− Do not use a power tool with a defective switch. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
− Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
− Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
− Maintain power tools thoroughly. Check for functionality or jamming of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools’
operation. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
− Keep cutting tools clean and free from debris or defects. Properly maintained
cutting tools are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
− Use the power tool, accessories, dies and jaws etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result
in a hazardous situation. All unauthorized modifications to the power tool are
prohibited for safety reasons.
Service
− Have the power tool repaired by Sartorius Stedim Biotech before use.

Operation
5.3 Cutting the Collar
t Install the battery into the base of the QUICKSEAL® cutting tool. Be sure the
trigger is not depressed during battery installation.
t The cutting head should be fully open. Push and hold the retract button until
cutting head is fully open.
t Lay the metallic collar of QUICKSEAL® into the cutting head so that the
tubing|collar is resting on the tube guides.
− It is not necessary, and may result in malformed seal, to push the collar into
the pivot point between the upper and lower blades of the cutting head
− The guides present the collar to the cutting edge at a slight angle.
t Pull the trigger and make the cut between the 2 arrows on the collar.
t Hold the trigger down until the cutting tool achieves pressure relief which is
accompanied by an audible “pop”.
t The cutting tool returns automatically after the audible “pop”. Use the retract
button, if necessary to return the cutting head to the fully open position.
t Remove battery from cutting tool; clean and store properly.
The cutting process can be interrupted at any moment by releasing the trigger.
If it is necessary to retract the ram before a cutting cycle is completed,
push the retract button. Pushing the retract button will result in the complete
retraction of the ram.
Lay QUICKSEAL®Collar in the trough of the cutting guides.
