OPERATION
•
Apply the metal nibbler to the workpiece only when
running at full speed.
•
Always hold the
metal nibbler
vertical to the
surface of the steel
sheet and without
tilting. The cut takes
place during the
upward motion of
the metal nibbler.
•
Guide the metal nibbler evenly and with moderate
feed pressure in the cutting direction.
•
Do not exert force, otherwise the metal nibbler and
cutter guide will become damaged.
USING THE METAL NIBBLER
•
Straight cuts are carried out best when the metal
nibbler is guided alongside a ruler/straight edge.
•
Contours can be cut by guiding the metal nibbler along
a curved template.
•
For inside cuts, you will need to pre-drill a 10 mm hole.
