Page 19: Description
Description Description Application The machine is used for cutting reinforcing steel at construction sites and oper- ations which fabricate reinforcements or process reinforcing iron. The diameter and tensile strength of the reinforcing steel that may be processed with the machine are dependent on the machine design. Please refer to the chapter Technical Data for information concerning your machine. - Page 20 Description ON/OFF switch Switching on the machine Turn on the machine with the ON/OFF switch. As long as the ON/OFF switch is pressed, the machine runs in cutting operation or idle, depending on the setting of the pressure release lever. Switching off the machine If the ON/OFF switch is released, the motor stops.
- Page 21 Description Release/Idle operating mode When the ON/OFF switch is pressed, the machine runs without performing a cut- ting movement. If the knife jams, the cutting movement can be interrupted. For this the machine has to be switched off and the pressure release lever has to be switched to the position Release/Idle.
