9.6  Positioning Material Inside the Cutting Head

Be sure that the piston and moving blade are located 

in the fully retracted “home” position before placing the 

chain inside the cutting head. See Figure 7.
Place the chain between the cutter blades, so that it is 

perpendicular to the piston axis, as shown in Figure 10. 

Position the link to be cut between the blades, so as to 

minimize the cutting section. This will provide the best 

quality cut while placing the least amount of load on the 

cutter.

NOTICE

Be certain that the parameters of the chain to 

be cut do not exceed maximum allowable 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.

9.7  Cutting Procedure (typical)

1. Make sure the correct fixed blade is installed for 

the diameter of the chain being cut. See Using the 

Correct Fixed Blade in Section 9.5.

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

position. See Figure 7.

4. Be sure that the piston release lever is turned fully 

clockwise to position 1. See Figure 8.

5. Open the cutter safety guard. See Opening and 

Closing the Safety Cutter Guard in Section 8.2. 

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

moving blades. Refer to instructions in Section 9.4 for 

additional information.

NOTICE

Some chains contain large links which will 

extend above the tops of the blades when the chain is 

positioned in the cutting head.
For these chains, the cutting process will need to be 

performed twice. Cut one side of the chain link by 

following the process described in steps 7 through 10 

of this procedure. After the first cut has been made, flip 

the chain over and repeat steps 7 through 10 to cut the 

other side of the link.
7. Close the cutter safety guard. See Opening and 

Closing the Safety Cutter Guard in Section 8.2. 

8. Be certain that hands, fingers or other body parts are 

not inside the cutting head.

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

cutting.

10.  After cutting is completed, release the trigger and 

then move the piston release lever counterclockwise 

to position 2. See Figure 8.
