OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before cutting, make sure the material being cut is within
the proper cutting capacity of the tool being used.
2. Open cutter head by lifting latch.
3. Insert material between cutter head and blade and secure
latch. It is important that you check the latch for proper en
-
gagement before continuing with the cut.
Failure to secure
the latch can result in severe tool damage and personal
injury.
4. Align the material 90 degree angle to the blade. This will
ensure a proper cut with minimal distortion. If the material
is cut at any other angle, severe blade damage may occur.
Refer to diagram on page 7 for proper alignment.
5. Once the cut is made, the release lever under trigger can be
depressed to retract the blade.
6. These cutters do not have a by-pass cartridge like our com
-
pression tools, so they should be released once the cut is
made and not continued to be advanced. If the tool is ad
-
vanced under pressure with no load, it is difficult to release
the blade. Refer to the troubleshooting on page 10 if this
condition occurs.
7. Always wear eye protection and any other specified safety
equipment when cutting. Be sure surrounding area is clear,
as hardened metals may fly apart when severed.
8. Do not use to cut Bridge Strand. Contact Loos Naples
for these cutters.
