9.5  Positioning Material Inside the Cutting Head

Be sure that the piston and moving blade are located in 

the fully retracted “home” position before placing any 

material inside the cutting head. See Figure 7.
Position the material to be cut between the cutter 

blades, so that it is perpendicular to the piston axis, as 

shown in Figure 7. This will provide the best quality cut 

while placing the least amount of load on the cutter.
Adjust the support bolt as needed. The head of the 

support bolt should just touch the surface of the material 

to be cut, when the item is positioned against the fixed 

blade of the cutter.

After adjusting the support bolt, be sure that the support 

bolt retaining nut is snug tight against the support 

bolt mounting ear. This will help prevent support bolt 

movement during cutting.

NOTICE

Be certain that the hardness, tensile strength 

and diameter of the material to be cut do not exceed any 

of the stated maximum limits.

 Refer to 

Section 2.1

 of this 

manual for additional information. Failure to observe this 

instruction may result in poor cutting performance 

and/or damage to the cutter.

9.6  Cutting Procedure (typical)

1. Connect the cutter to the electrical outlet.
2. Be sure that the piston is in the “home” (fully retracted)

position. See Figure 3.

3. Be sure that the piston release screw is turned fully 

clockwise. See Figure 4.

4. Place the material to be cut between the fixed and 

moving blades. Refer to instructions in Section 9.5 for 

additional information.

NOTICE

Position the item to be cut so that it is as 

perpendicular as possible to the blades, as described in 

Section 9.5. Positioning the material at an angle will 

side-load the piston. Jamming and/or damage to the 

cutter may result.
5. Be certain that hands, fingers or other body parts are 

not inside the cutting head.

6. Press and hold the trigger to start the motor and begin 

cutting.

7. After cutting is completed, wait until the piston 

reaches the end of its stroke and then release the 

trigger. Verify that the moving blade reverses direction 

and moves fully into the “home” (fully retracted) 

position.
