The thickness of material to be cut depends upon the
tensile strength of the material itself. The groove on the
die holder acts as a thickness gauge for allowable
cutting thickness. Do not attempt to cut any material
which will not fit into this groove.
Cutting line
The notch in the die holder indicates your cutting line.
Its width is equal to the cutting width. Align the notch to
the cutting line on the workpiece when cutting.

CAUTION:
•
Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool,
always check to see that the slide switch actuates
properly and returns to the "OFF" position when
the rear of the slide switch is depressed.
•
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
To start the tool, slide the slide switch toward the "I
(ON)" position. For continuous operation, press the front
of the slide switch to lock it.
To stop the tool, press the rear of the slide switch, then
slide it toward the "O (OFF)" position.
Indication lamp with multi function

013277
Indication lamps are located in two positions.
− Battery cartridge replacing signal
− When the battery power is almost used up
during operation, the red lamp lights up and
the tool stops immediately. Replace the
battery with fully charged one when the red
lamp lights up.
− Accidental re-start preventive function
− Even if the battery cartridge is inserted on the
tool with the slide switch in the "I (ON)" position,
the tool does not start. At this time, the lamp
flickers slowly and this shows that the
accidental re-start preventive function is at work.
− To start the tool, first slide the slide switch
toward the "O (OFF)" position and then slide
it toward the "I (ON)" position.
