objects that are to be spread apart. Make sure the 

flat spreading wedges on the tips of the jaws are

  WARNING

Never place fingers, hands or other 

body parts between objects being spread (such as a

10.1  Preparation for Maintenance

All cutter maintenance procedures must be performed 

under the following conditions:
•  Material must be removed from the cutting head.
•  The cutter must be disconnected from the AC power 

supply.

•  The cutter must be given time to cool to prevent burns.
•  Procedures must be performed in a suitable work 

environment in accordance with all current safety 

regulations and/or laws in your country or region.

•  The cutter must be cleaned thoroughly before 

maintenance procedures are performed.

•  Suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) must be 

used and/or worn while performing any work.

NOTICE:

  WARNING

The cutter must sometimes be 

operated in order to complete a maintenance or 

repair procedure being performed, or to prepare it 

for a procedure that is about to be performed.
However, to prevent start-up while persons are 

working on the cutter, always disconnect the cutter 

from the AC power supply before beginning any 

procedure steps that require use of tools and/or 

physical contact with the cutter. Failure to observe 

this precaution may result in death or serious 

personal injury.
