5) Cutsmart feature
‘
CutSmart
’ is a new feature from Rotabroach.
Designed to help you to get the best out of your machine. It does this by way of a visual indicator.
The visual indicator shows when you are using the drill correctly within its specification this is done by
way of a Tri colour LED to the Right of the magnet on LED.
During operation if you are drilling correctly this will stay
GREEN. However as you put more pressure
onto the drill increasing its workload above its correct operation the LED will start to change colour to
ORANGE . This indicates that you are putting more wear on the machine and the cutter which will
eventually cause damage to your machine. If further pressure is put on the machine the LED will
eventually turn
RED and the motor will cut off and will not be allowed to be turned back on for
approximately 5 seconds. This is a safety feature to protect you and the machine from damage.
Ideally to get the most out of your machine you need to keep the LED green when drilling. If it starts to
turn orange release some pressure.
The panels are set to cut off when the machine reaches the maximum allowed current.
The magnet is also protected by a 2A fuse
Care must be taken when handling the PCB as they are static sensitive please ensure you are earthed.
As the PCB contains some delicate components please do not flash test this equipment.
