2.1 Intended use
Warning
Risk of injury
¾Only use the machine for work and materials as described
under "Intended use."
The TRUMPF TruTool C 160 Slitting Shears are a compressed-air
tool used for the following applications:
•Cutting plate-shaped workpieces, e.g. steel, aluminium, and
plastic.
•Cutting straight or curved exterior and inner cutouts.

3.3 Selection of tools
Information
The blades have 2 cutting edges. They cannot be resharpened.
Different types of blades are required according to the thickness or
tensile strength of the workpiece (see Tab. 5, p. 10).
Information
If the blade is not selected as specified in the table,
–the quality of cut will be severely impaired.
–the feed power increases significantly.
–the blade will break.
