c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.

repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

6. Commissioning
Before plugging in, check to see that the rated

7. Use
7.1 Adjusting the Distance Between the
Blades
The correct distance:
The distance between the blade (7) in the
cutting base and the blade (6) in the ram should be
approx a fifth of the thickness of the sheet material
being cut (i.e. when cutting a sheet 1.6 mm thick,
0.2 x 1.6 = 0.32 mm). The distance should be
slightly less if the material is tough and slightly more
if the material is brittle.
The blades should not move.
Adjusting the distance:
- Loosen the screw (9) and if necessary, the grub
screw (8) as well.
- Adjust the distance between the blade (7) in the
cutting base and the blade (6) in the ram using a
feeler gauge.
- Screw in the grub screw (8) until it rests against
the blade (7) in the cutting base and then tighten
the screw (9) again.
