• The battery-powered cutting appliances are used exclusively for cutting doors and
roof beams, pillars and door sills, the ring and the spokes of the steering wheel.
• If possible, for cutting solid material, always use the rear part of the cutter unit as it

• In industrial application, the appliances can also be used to cut pipes, structural
steels, profiles, sheets and cables.
