7.3 Operating Precautions
NOTICE:
WARNING
Failure to observe the following
precautions and instructions could result in death or
serious personal injury.
• Keep fingers, hands and other body parts clear of
the blades.
• Do not attempt to reposition the item being cut
while the cutter is in operation. Always stop the
cutter and then move the blades to the open position
before repositioning the item.
• Dangerous projectiles could occur at any time
during cutting. Always wear face and eye protection.
Keep persons away from cutting area.
• Cutter surfaces can become very hot. To prevent
burns, avoid contact with cutter components and
wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
• Refer to additional safety precautions in Section 1.0
of this manual before using the cutter or performing
any maintenance or repair activities.
7.4 Trapped Air Removal
Before placing a new cutter into operation, cycle the
piston several times without load to remove any trapped
air in the hydraulic circuit. The tool should also be placed
below the pump so the air can escape to the pump
reservoir.
Air is completely purged when the piston advances and
retracts smoothly in both directions, from fully extended
to fully retracted.
This procedure may also be performed after the cutter
has been serviced.
Refer to the cutter controls information in Section 7.6 of
this manual when performing the air removal procedure.
7.5 Positioning Material
Position the material to be cut between the cutter blades
so that it is perpendicular to the blade axis, as shown in
Figure 4. This will provide the best quality cut.
Position the material at the base of the blades. Do not
position the material at the tips of the blades.
NOTICE
Be certain that the properties of the material to
be cut do not exceed the stated maximum limits
applicable to your cutter model. Refer to Section 2.1 of
this manual for additional information. Failure to observe
the instruction may result in poor cutting performance
and/or damage to the cutter.
