Description
3.1
Equipment
The cutter is one of the pieces of rescue equipment that makes it possible to reach victims. The cutter is
used during rescue operations to cut through structural elements without removing certain sections. It
can also notch material at particular places in order to weaken the construction. On the front of the tool
there are two blades that make a scissor movement. The high hydraulic pressure that is used means
that this tool can apply large forces.
The cutter is produced as a hand tool that can be operated by one person. The tool can be used
independently because of the battery-driven hydraulic system.
The battery energizes the electric motor. The electric motor operates a multi-stage piston pump that can
build up a maximum system pressure of 720 bar. Stage switching is electronically controlled for
maximum speed at the required pressure.
