To avoid injury and damage, prevent accidental starting of the
device.
Never hold the tool in the area of jaws and cutting dies.
Before using, always check the dies and jaws for cracks and other
signs of wear.
Only use the threaded rod cutter, battery pack and charger if they
are in perfect technical condition.
Have damage repared immediately by an authorised workshop.
Remove the battery pack before starting any work on the
appliance.
Do not use tool without dies installed. Fingers could be crushed
with or without dies in place.
Remove any setting tools and wrenches before making the cut.
To avoid injury and damage, never immerse the tool, removable
battery or charger in liquid or allow liquid to penetrate them.
Avoid cutting short pieces of material that put hands near dies.
Workpiece may not be exposed to any mechanical forces.
To reduce the risk of explosions, electric shock and damage to
property and equipment, do not use on life objects.
Tool is NOT insulated. Contact with a live circuit could result in
severe injury or death.
Cutting dies are sharp. Keep hands away from cutting edges and
moving parts. Avoid cutting short pieces of material that put hands
near dies. Laceration and amputation can occur.
WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
•lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product
damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them.
Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial
chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can
cause a short circuit.
Use only System M18 chargers for charging System M18 battery
packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems.
Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry
rooms. Keep dry at all times.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This heavy duty threaded rod cutter is designed for professional
applications.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, only cut materials for the
cutting dies (see „Technical Data“). Do not attempt to cut other
materials.
This tool will cut off threaded rod cleanly and burrfree, allowing
nuts to be hand-threaded without additional finishing. Workpiece
quality, dirt, and scale could affect the ability to hand-thread nuts.
NOTE: Use this tool for cutting the sizes and materials listed below.
Other sizes or materials will damage the tool and workpiece.
DO NOT operate or use under wet conditions or in the presence of
flammable liquids or gases.
DO NOT use for cutting tempered bolts, threads of different sizes or
reinforcing rod.
NOTE: The rod cutter has been designed so that the nut threads
onto the cut rod by hand. Thread quality, surface finish (i.e., galva-
nized or plated), dirt and scale could affect the ability of the nut to
thread freely onto the cut rod.
WARNING: If the dies need to be opened without completing the
cycle, never release the main handle. Use your other hand to press
the reserve button until the indicator lamp lights up. Put the hand
back on the workpiece and hold it securely. Then press the main
trigger until the tool stops automatically to open the dies.
USE
Always wear goggles when using the device.
Cutting dies are sharp. Keep hands away from cutting edges and
moving parts. Avoid cutting short pieces of material that put hands
near dies. Laceration and amputation can occur.
During overhead use, ensure BOTH ends of the rod are secure to
avoid pieces falling when the cut is complete.
Cutting
• Before use, ensure the cutting dies are aligned for the
proper rod size.
• Ensure the hex bolts are tightened securely.
• Cut clean material to extend the cutting die blade life.
• Wipe dirt and debris from material and cutting dies before
beginning the cut.
• Only use the cutting dies on the material for they were
designed for. Other materials could damage the cutting
diesand tool.
• Insert the battery pack.
• To ensure proper die life, threaded rod must be fully enga-
ged properly with dies during the cut. For accurate work,
always secure the workpiece before cutting.
• Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the cutting
dies and workpiece. Hold the material firmly and securely
against fixed cutting die when starting the cut.
• To run in reverse, press the reverse button; the button light
will turn on. Press and hold trigger to reverse.
NOTE: The tool will only enter reverse mode if the jaws are
NOT fully open.
