Use of the control handle
The cutter can be operated by the pushbutton on the control handle. The speed of
movement of the shearing blades is controlled precisely by the greater or lesser degree of force
applied to the pushbutton.
The maximum cutting force is only applied when the pushbutton is fully depressed.
Closing the cutters
The primary motion direction of the device (closing) is triggered by pressing the lower
tapered (convex) end of the button.
The direction of movement is marked on the equipment with the symbol:
Opening the cutters
The cutters are opened with the upper curved (concave) end of the button, which is marked
with the following symbol:
Dead-man‘s switching
If the pushbutton is released then it returns to the neutral position automatically. With this, the
device stops still in any position (including under load).
