NOTE!
Lack of lubrication is the most common cause of failure for unsat-
isfactory shearing results.
Insufficient oiling of the shearing blades leads to heating and a
reduced service life of the blades.
The shearing blades and the shearing head must be sufficiently
oiled during shearing so that they do not run dry.

ON/OFF switch
The switch has two positions (Fig. 2 shows position 0).
y Position 0: Machine switched off
y Position I: Machine switched on
NOTE!
Always use the slide switch (Fig. 2) to turn the machine on and off.
Check the switch position before plugging in the cable.

Malfunctions
Overload protection switch (Fig. 5)
The overload circuit breaker protects the machine from impermissible me-
chanical and thermal stress. If the button of the overload protection switch
pops out (the machine stops), immediately switch off the machine addition-
ally with the slide switch (Fig. 2) (position = 0).
Reasons for the overload circuit breaker popping out are:
Defective motor, excessive shearing tension, blockage of the shearing
head, clogged air filter, etc.
Remedy the defect with the power plug disconnected. The machine can be
restarted after a few minutes by pressing in the overload protection switch
button.
For other malfunctions, see also Troubleshooting in chapter 5.2.
