CUTSMART FEATURE
‘
CutSmart
’ is a new feature from Rotabroach.
Designed to help you to get the best out of your machine. It does this by way of a visual indicator.
The visual indicator shows when you are using the drill correctly within its specification this is done by way of a
Tri colour LED to the Right of the magnet on LED.
During operation if you are drilling correctly this will stay
GREEN.
However as you put more pressure onto the
drill increasing its workload above its correct operation the LED will start to change colour to
ORANGE
. This
indicates that you are putting more wear on the machine and the cutter which will eventually cause damage to
your machine. If further pressure is put on the machine the LED will eventually turn
RED
and the motor will cut
off and will not be allowed to be turned back on for approximately 5 seconds. This is a safety feature to protect
you and the machine from damage.
Ideally to get the most out of your machine you need to keep the LED green when drilling. If it starts to turn
orange release some pressure.
The panels are set to cut off when the machine reaches the following currents.
110V panel – approximately 17 amps
230V panel – approximately 10 amps
The magnet is also protected by a 2A fuse
Care must be taken when handling the PCB as they are static sensitive please ensure you are earthed. As the
PCB contains some delicate components please do not flash test this equipment.
New Cutsmart

too much force
