Lukas LSI 400, Operating Instructions Manual

11

Note:

Before working on the pump power pack or for coupling/decoupling the hoses, make
sure that the pump power pack is switched off (electric connection) or disconnected
from the mains and that the lines are unpressurized.

9.1.3 Warnings

Before any operation of the cutter unit (concerns manually as well as remotely controlled
devices) make sure that the movement of the blades does not constitue a risk to
persons (involved or uninvolved) or that the blades or cut-off parts jerking away cannot
damage property.

It is strictly forbidden to grip between the blades!

Do not cut

- live wires,
- pressurized gas or fluid lines,
- prestressed and hardened parts (such as springs, spring steels, steering columns,

rolls) as well as composite materials (steel/concrete) without applying special
approved safety measures for persons or sufficiently dimensioned machine covers.

9.2 Principles on cutting

The blades must be applied at a right angle
to the object to be cut. To enhance cutting
performance, cut as close as possible to
the blade fulcrum. On cutting, the gap
between the blade tips must not be larger
than 3 mm. (Risk of blade fracture!)

9.3 Cutters LSI 600 E / 400 E

By pushing the buttons 4 (see cover page) the tool is opened
(push the green button) respectively closed (push the red button).
By operation of both buttons at the same time there is no function
(blades/arms don't move).

9.4 Cutter unit LSI 600

The device is controlled in a semiautomatic or fully automatic way via a remote control.
Intervention on the device as such is not possible.

Function of pressure connections: Connection „A“:

cut (close blades)

Connection „B“:

open blades

The connections on the device are marked.

Free swivelling movement around the longitudinal axis must be ensured: see Section 7.5.1.
Only thus can the cutter unit during the cutting operation adjust itself at a right angle to
the object to be cut. Otherwise the blades will be bent up on cutting, which results in
dramatically reduced service life.

If on setting-up persons work in the immediate vicinity of the cutter unit, the necessary
measures for fitting safety devices, automatic safety shut-off (e.g. „photoelectric
barriers“) or manual „emergency stop buttons“ must be taken.
