8.6 Cutter Controls
Four push buttons control cutter operation. The two top
push buttons activate the advance function. The bottom
two push buttons activate the retract function.
With the pump motor ON:
• Press and hold both
advance
push buttons to
advance the piston and slide the moving blade
forward. See Figure 9.
• Press and hold both
retract
push buttons to retract
the piston and slide the moving blade backward. See
Figure 10.
• Release any push button at any time to stop movement
of the piston and moving blade. Be advised that there
may be a brief delay for the piston and blade to make
a complete stop.
NOTICE
A safety switch prevents the cutter from
operating unless the locking latch is latched and the
threaded knob is fully installed. Refer to Section 7.2 for
additional information.
8.4 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 8.6 of
this manual when performing the air removal procedure.
8.5 Positioning Material
Always be sure that the piston and moving blade are in
the fully retracted “home” position before placing any
material inside the cutting head. See Figure 7.

Figure 8, Positioning Material in the Cutting Head
Figure 7, Piston and Blade in Home Position
(fully retracted)
Open the cutting head and place the material inside.
Then, close the cutting head. Refer to Section 7.2 for
additional information.
Position the material to be cut between the cutter
blades, so that it is perpendicular to the piston axis, as
shown in Figure 8. This will provide the best quality cut
while placing the least amount of load on the cutter.
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. Faliure to observe
the instruction may result in poor cutting performance
and/or damage to the cutter.
