1.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when operating.
2.
KEEP FINGERS AWAY from cutting blades at all times.
3.
TURN THE SELECTOR on the side of the machine from BEND to CUT.
4.
POSITION bar or bars between cutting blades. Bar must rest on the bottom of the cutter opening
as shown.
5. ADJUST THE BAR SUPPORT
on the right side of the cutter so the bar is held perpendicular to
the cutting blades. Press the foot pedal until the cut is made and then release the pedal. DO
NOT cut ve
ry short pieces (3” or shorter) as they could fly out and cause an accident. If you must
cut short pieces, you must come up with a way to contain the cut pieces to prevent them from
flying out and injuring someone.
5. CUTTING BLADES have 4 cutting edges. When one set of edges is worn, simply remove blade
securing bolts and rotate to the next sharp edge. To access the blade securing bolts for the blade
that moves, simply turn on the machine and make sure Cut/Bend lever is in the CUT position.
Press the foot pedal and when the ram has extended about ¾ of the way out, flip off the on/off
switch and turn the motor off. The ram will stay in the extended position until the machine is turned
back on again. Now you can access the blade securing bolts to rotate or exchange this blade.
Carefully grind mushroomed edges flat if they prevent proper seating of the blade in its new
position.
DO NOT attempt to re-sharpen worn edges as you will destroy the temper (hardening)
properties of the blade and it will be ruined.
DO NOT continue to cut with worn blades as damage to the machine or SERIOUS
INJURY COULD RESULT.
DO NOT CUT VERY SHORT PIECES, They can fly out and cause an accident.
SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
