Brief description of cutter
Battery-powered cutters are specially designed rescue equipment for cutting vehicle body parts.
They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims. The cutter's uses include cutting
door and roof beams, columns and sills.
Because the devices are equipped with internal electrohydraulic drive, they are not linked to a
power unit and can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The movement speed of the cutter blades is affected by moving the control lever on the control
handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum cutting force is achieved only when the lever
is on full activation.
