8.0  MAJOR FEATURES AND COMPONENTS

8.1  Trigger On-Off Switch

 

NOTICE:

  WARNING

To prevent serious personal injury, be 

certain that hands, fingers and other body parts are 

away from the cutting area before depressing the 

cutter trigger.

A trigger mounted in the cutter grip controls cutter 

operation. Pressing the trigger automatically starts the 

cutter electric motor.
•  Press and hold the trigger to advance the piston and 

slide the moving blade forward. See Figures 2 and 3.

•  Release the trigger at any time to stop the piston and 

moving blade. Be advised that there may be a brief 

delay until the piston comes to a complete stop.

•  After the piston is fully advanced the piston will 

automatically reverse direction and move to the fully 

retracted “home” position. See Figure 4.

•  Automatic return can occur only after the piston has 

been fully advanced. If the trigger is released before 

the piston is fully advanced, the piston will stop and 

remain stopped.

6.0  SET-UP

6.1  Delivery and Handling

The cutter and various related items are housed inside a 

plastic storage case. The cutter should be stored in this 

case when not in use.
Place the cutter on a substantial and stable work 

surface. The work surface must be of sufficient capacity  

to support the weight of the cutter plus the additional 

weight of the material to be cut. Refer to Section 2.2 for 

cutter weight.

6.2  Before Startup

•  Be sure that the shipment includes all components 

and that there is no obvious damage.

•  Read the following sections of this manual to become 

familiar with cutter features and safety devices.

•  Verify that the AC power supply is of the correct 

specifications and capacity to power the cutter. Refer 

to Section 7.0 of this manual for additional information.

 

NOTICE

Be sure that cutter piston is advanced as far 

as possible before removing oil reservoir cap in the 

next step. 

Oil leakage and improper operation may 

result if this instruction is not followed.
•  Advance the piston as far as possible, disconnect AC 

power cord and check the cutter hydraulic oil level. 

Add oil if oil level is low. Refer to Section 10.5.2 for 

detailed instructions.

•  Be sure that the piston release lever is fully tightened. 

Refer to Section 8.2.

•  Before first use, remove air from the cutter hydraulic 

system. Refer to procedure in Section 9.3.

7.0  POWER REQUIREMENTS

The cutter is available in two versions, each with different 

electrical power requirements:
Model EFBE5017B is designed for 120VAC, single-

phase, 60 Hz power. This version contains a USA style 

NEMA 6-15 power plug.
Model EFBE5017E is designed for 230VAC, single-

phase 50 Hz power. This version contains a European 

style “Schuko” power plug.
Before connecting electric power to tool, be certain that 

the power supply is the proper voltage and Hz for the 

cutter version that you are using. Refer to the cutter data 

plate.
Also refer to Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of this manual for 

important electrical safety information and precautions.

 

NOTICE:

  WARNING

Failure to follow the electrical safety 

precautions contained in Sections 1.3 and 1.4 of this 

manual could result in electric shock. Death or 

serious personal injury could occur.
