pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Operation
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Starting Operation
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (1) for-
wards so that I appears on the switch.
To lock the on/off switch (1), push down on the front of the
switch as well.
To switch off the power tool, release the on/off switch (1).
When the on/off switch is locked, press down on the back of
the switch and then release it.
Working Advice
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
u
work on the power tool.
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
u
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
Wear protective gloves during work and pay particu-
u
lar attention to the cord. Make sure that cut sheet
parts are not bent towards your body or the cord.
Sharp burrs develop on the cut sheets; these can cause
injury or damage the cord. When necessary and while
wearing gloves, press bending sheet parts away from
your body and/or from the cord.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.

80–90°
Guide the power tool at an angle of 80° to 90° to the surface
of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to the side.
Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting
direction. Applying too much pressure to the power tool will
significantly reduce the service life of application tools and
can damage the power tool.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the power tool lat-
erally and work with low feed rate only.
Maximum steel sheet cutting capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The power tool allows for cutting of metal sheet to the follow-
ing thicknesses:

Adjusting cutter clearance "a"
The cutter clearance a (gap between the
cutters) depends on the sheet thickness
d to be cut.

For softer or more ductile materials, the clearance a must be
decreased; for harder or more brittle materials, it must be in-
creased.
Loosen the fastening screw (8) for the bottom cutter. Adjust
the requested cutter clearance a with the set screw (7) for
the bottom cutter. The upper cutter (5) and the bottom
cutter (6) may not touch each other.
Check the clearance with a commercially available setting
gauge. Retighten the fastening screw (8) for the bottom cut-
ter with a tightening torque of 4–6 Nm.
