NOTICE:

  WARNING

To prevent serious personal injury, be 

certain that hands, fingers and other body parts are 

away from the cutting area before depressing the 

cutter trigger.

A trigger mounted in the cutter grip controls cutter 

operation. Pressing the trigger automatically starts the 

cutter electric motor. See Figure 6.
•  With the directional lever in position 1, press and hold 

the trigger to advance the piston and slide the moving 

blade forward. See Figure 7.

•  With the directional lever in position 2, press and hold 

the trigger to retract the piston and slide the moving 

blade rearward. See Figure 8.

•  Release the trigger at any time to stop the piston and 

moving blade. Be advised that there may be a brief 

delay until the piston comes to a complete stop.

•  The piston will stop moving when it has reached 

either its minimum or maximum extension. To prevent 

possible damage to the cutter, do not continue to 

press the trigger after the cylinder is fully retracted or 

extended.
