Cutting Procedure—ESG25L

1.   Lift the head latch to open the cutter.
2.   Place the material to be cut between the jaws.
3.   Close the head latch completely.
4.   Align the material at a 90° angle to the blades.
5.  Pull the trigger to make the cut.
6.  Hold the trigger down until the cutting tool achieves 

pressure relief, which is accompanied by an audible 

“pop”.

7.  The cutting tool returns automatically.

cutting cycle is completed, push the retract button. 

Pushing the retract button will result in the complete 

retraction of the ram.

Sharpening the Blade—ESG25L  

1.  Set blade on flat surface 

with beveled edge facing 

down (Figure A)

2.  Use a sharpening stone to 

remove all burrs from back 

surface.

3.  Use a high-speed dremel- 

type tool to flatten top edge 

of blade (approximately  

1/32" wide flat).

 

Do not leave a sharp edge.

 

This will cause chipping 

of cutting surface and will 

decrease blade life.
