9.0  CUTTER OPERATION

9.1  Foreseen Use and Residual Risks

NOTICE:

  WARNING

Failure to observe and comply with the 

instructions and precautions contained in the 

following paragraphs could result in death or serious 

personal injury.

1. The cutter must be used only to cut metal chains. 

Material parameters must not exceed the allowable 

values shown in Section 2.1 of this manual.

2.  The cutter may be used only if powered by an electrical 

system compliant with legislation and current law 

(suitably connected to a grounded electrical system 

and protected from current surges and short circuits).

3. Operators must observe the instructions in this 

manual in order to minimize the risk of accidents. In 

particular, operators must pay attention when working 

in conditions that could cause:

•  Possible burns from overheated metal parts.
•  Injury due to incorrect positioning or inadequate lifting 

or moving.

•  Injury caused by splinters discharged from the 

workpiece.

NOTICE:

  WARNING

People remaining in the vicinity of the 

cutter while it is working are subject to the risk of 

flying debris (dangerous objects, etc. 

). Serious 

personal injury could result.

4. Mechanical vibrations transmitted to the hands and 

arms can pose a risk to the health and safety of 

workers. The user and/or employer is responsible for 

assessing the risk generated by mechanical vibrations 

from the cutter, and minimizing the possibility of injury.

5. Incorrect use:
•  The cutter must not be used for purposes other than 

indicated in this manual.

•  The cutter must not be used in areas subject to the 

risk of explosion.

8.4  Piston Release Lever

Before using the cutter, check that the piston release lever 

is moved fully clockwise to position 1. See Figure 8. This 

will enable the piston and moving blade to advance when 

the on-off trigger is depressed.
In the event that the blade becomes stuck during 

cutting, move the piston release lever counterclockwise 

to position 2, to manually release and retract the piston. 

The piston will return immediately to the “home” position, 

assuming that no dirt or debris is preventing its return.

NOTICE

To prevent possible oil leakage, do not loosen 

the piston release lever farther than necessary to release 

the piston.

NOTICE

Refer to the procedures in Section 11.0 of this 

manual if the blade is not returning due to accumulated 

dirt or debris.
Return the piston release lever to position 1 to resume 

normal operation. Note that the piston will not advance 

when the lever is in position 2.
