the machine and allow to run up to full speed.
5. Turn the crank handle to begin cutting. Use light
pressure at first to keep the cutter from
wandering, and then gradually increase until normal
pressure is being applied. Do not force the tool –
let the speed of the cutter do the work. Cutting
performance will not improve by applying more
pressure on the tool, and cutter and motor life will
be reduced.
6. Regulate the flow of cutting coolant as required
with the coolant feed tap. Use less pressure as the
cutter exits through the material. Always provide
a method of catching the slug, where the ejected
slug may cause injury.
Caution: The slug ejected at the end of a cut can
be very hot.
Overload Protection
This machine is fitted with an overload protection
device, which prevents damage to the machine
should the motor be overloaded. Overload could be
caused by using a blunt, damaged or an oversized
cutter or by using excessive feed-in pressure.
If the overload protection device trips the machines
motor will stop, but maximum magnetic adhesion
will be maintained holding the machine in position.
Before attempting to restart the machine
investigate the cause of the overload situation.
To restart the machine operate the motor switch
on the top of the machine, switching it first to
the ‘OFF’ position before returning it to the ‘ON’
position. The motor will restart.
If the overload protection device persistently
operates and causes such as those mentioned
above have been eliminated, have the machine
checked and serviced by a qualified person.
MAINTENANCE
GB
Note: Any maintenance must be carried out with
the machine switched off and disconnected from
the mains/battery power supply.
Check that all safety features and guards are
operating correctly on a regular basis. Only use
this machine if all guards/safety features are fully
operational.
All motor bearings in this machine are lubricated for
life. No further lubrication is required.
Use a clean, slightly damp cloth to clean the plastic
parts of the machine. Do not use solvents or
similar products which could damage the plastic
parts.
WARNING: Do not attempt to clean by inserting
pointed objects through openings in the machines
casings etc. The machines air vents should be
cleaned using compressed dry air.
Excessive sparking may indicate the presence of
dirt in the motor or worn out carbon brushes.
If this is suspected have the machine serviced and
the brushes replaced by a qualified person.
