Direct Cutting is the normal cutting mode. The cut-off wheel is
moved into the workpiece in a slightly curved, vertical movement.
Direct Cutting is intended for ordinary materials.
ExciCut cutting mode is ideal for cutting of very hard materials
(HV >400). The oscillating movement of the cut-off wheel has
three main advantages: less wear on the cut-off wheel, less risk of
damage to workpiece and less risk of motor overheating.
To select ExciCut, press the CUTTING MODE button, until
ExciCut appears in the top bar of the display.
The AxioCut option permits cutting of extra large workpieces
(adding 150mm to max. depth). Two different cutting modes are
provided, Step and Sweep. The Sweep-mode offers better cut-off
wheel economy than the Step-mode. The latter method, however,
is faster.
To select AxioCut/Step or AxioCut/Sweep, press the CUTTING
MODE button, until the desired mode appears in the top bar of
the display.
Two flexible water jets are provided for additional cooling. Cooling
water from the integrated water jets will flow away from the
upper part of the cutting area, particularly when cutting hollow
workpieces. To counter this, use the flexible water jets provided.
Position the cooling jets to the left and right of the cutting area.
Turn the valve on the jet to a position parallel to the hose to activate
the cooling jet. The cooling water will flow as soon as the cutting
starts.
