• Move the blade slowly forwards and backwards to achieve
a small contact area between the blade and the material
to be cut. This reduces the temperature of the blade and
ensures effective cutting.
Rail cutting
Cutting guide
The cutting guide is used to facilitate guiding the blade to
where the cut is to be made. The first time you use the power
cutter, you must cut the guide.
• Fit fixture and power cutter.
• Fold out the cutting guide.
• Fix the cutting guide parallel to the rail in an appropriate
manner.
• Carefully cut off the guide.
Work procedure
• Fold out the cutting guide.
• Align the saw cut and fold in the guide.
• Begin the cutting process by swinging the machine back
and forth horizontally. This way the cutting blade's contact
surface to the rail is minimised, which reduces the risk of
the blade glazing.
OPERATING
• When you have cut through the head (A), you continue
cutting the rib (B) and foot (C).

If the cut cannot be completed from one side, the power cutter
must be turned around.
• Shut off the machine.
• Dismantle the power cutter from the fixture.
• Fit the power cutter with its left side to the rail fixture.
• Guide the cutting blade down towards the rail and check
that the cutting blade is centred in the cut. If necessary,
adjust the movable bushing so that the blade ends up
centred in the middle of the cut.
• Now cutting can proceed.
General tips
• Only use specially intended cutting blades for rail cutting.
• Apply the cutting blade gently with high rotating speed (full
throttle) Maintain full speed until cutting is complete.
• Hold the machine's handle so that the hands are in line
with the cutting blade. This to achieve maximum cutting
speed, blade service life and a straight cut.
• When performing the cutting process correctly, it takes
about one minute to cut a 50 kg/m-rail. If it takes longer,
review your cutting technique. Problems which arise are
often the result of incorrect cutting technique.
