The cutter clearance a (gap between the
cutters) depends on the sheet thickness
d to be cut.
max
The cutter clearance a should be 10 % of
the sheet thickness d
ter clearance for 1 mm sheet thickness).
a
For softer or more ductile materials, the
clearance a must be decreased; for harder
or more brittle materials, increased.
Loosen the fastening screw 12 for the bottom cutter. Adjust
the required cutter clearance a with the adjustment screw 11.
The upper cutter 9 and the bottom cutter 10 may not touch
each other. Check the clearance with a commercially avail-
able setting gauge. Retighten the fastening screw 12 for the
bottom cutter with a tightening torque of 3–4 Nm.
Temperature Dependent Overload Protection
If used in accordance with its intended use, the power tool
cannot be overloaded. If the power tool is overloaded or not
kept within the permitted battery temperature range, the
stroke rate is reduced or the power tool switches off. When
the stroke rate is reduced, the power tool will not run at full
stroke rate again until the permitted battery temperature has
been reached. If it automatically shuts down, switch the
power tool off, allow the battery to cool down, then switch the
power tool back on.
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
 Before any work on the machine itself (e. g. mainte-
nance, tool change, etc.) as well as during transport
and storage, remove the battery from the power tool.
There is danger of injury when unintentionally actuating
the On/Off switch.
 For safe and proper working, always keep the machine
and ventilation slots clean.
Replace the blade (see figure B)
The upper cutter 9 and the bottom cutter 10 are identical,
have four cutting edges each, and can be exchanged with
each other.
Turn or replace the cutters in good time. Only sharp applica-
tion tools achieve good cutting capacity and make the
machine last longer.
To replace the upper cutter 9, loosen the fastening screw 8; to
replace the bottom cutter 10, loosen the fastening screw 12.
Turn the cutter by 90° or install a new cutter. When installing
the bottom cutter 10, pay attention that it faces against the
adjustment screw 11.
Note: Turn the cutter only in the direction indicated in the figure
and insert a new cutter only in the position shown in the figure.
Cutting is not possible with an incorrectly inserted cutter.
Retighten the fastening screw 8 for the upper cutter and the
fastening screw 12 for the bottom cutter with a tightening
torque of 3–4 Nm. Check the cutter clearance a (see "Adjust-
ing Cutter Clearance a", page 6).
Upper cutter 9 and bottom cutter 10 may not be reground.
