  • Due to our continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without notice.
  • Specifications may differ from country to country.
  • Weight according to EPTA-Procedure 01/2003

Intended use

The tool is intended for cutting sheet steel and stainless sheet steel.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on a single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire.
Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:

  • Sound pressure level (LpA): 77 dB(A)
  • Uncertainty (K) : 3 dB(A)

The noise level under working may exceed 80 dB (A).
Wear ear protection.
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined according to EN60745:

  • Work mode : cutting sheet metal
  • Vibration emission (ah) : 9.5 m/s2
  • Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2

ENG901-1

  • The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another.
  • The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING:

  • The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared emission value depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
  • Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as  the times when the tool is switched off and when itis running idle in addition to the trigger time).

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with the product (gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

  • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking the function on the tool

Switch action

CAUTION:

  • Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch lever actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when the rear of the switch lever is depressed.
  • Switch can be locked in “ON” position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. Apply caution when locking tool in the “ON” position and maintain a firm grasp on the tool.

Fig.1
To start the tool, slide the switch lever toward the “I (ON)” position. For continuous operation, press the front of the switch lever to lock it. To stop the tool, press the rear of the switch lever, then slide it toward the “O (OFF)” position

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

  • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Adjusting the blade clearance
Adjust the clearance between the side blade and the
center blade according to the thickness of the workpiece.
Fig.2
First use a hex wrench to loosen the screw.
Fig.3
Then use the hex wrench to adjust the clearance by tightening or loosening the bolt. There may be a slight difference between clearances of both sides of the center blade. Check the smaller clearance with the thickness gauge and adjust it. When using the thickness gauge to adjust the blade clearance, refer to the table.

After adjusting the clearance, tighten the screw securely.

Storing hex wrench
Fig.4
Store the hex wrench as shown in the figure when not in use.

OPERATION

Lubrication
Fig.5
Before operation, lubricate the contact point of the center blade and the pin. To keep good cutting performance, also use a cutting lubricant from time to time during operation.
OPERATION
Fig.6
Always hold the tool firmly with one hand on housing. Do
not touch the metal part.
Turn the tool on and set front ends of the side blades on
the workpiece. Now simply move the tool forward,
keeping the side blades flush with the workpiece surface.

NOTE:

  • When cutting a small portion of the workpiece, you may have difficulty completing the end of the cut. In that case, try to cut it again, pulling the workpiece back slightly.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

  • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
