The number of cuttings can also vary somewhat
according to the ambient temperature, characteristics
of the battery and the condition of the cutter.
3. Cutting fixed lengths (Fig. 10)
When cutting several studs to the same length,
using the equipment in the following way will making
cutting operations more efficient.
(1) First cut one stud to the required length, and then
use it as a fixed length guide.
(2) Insert the stud used as a fixed length guide in the
stud attachment hole found on the main unit stud
guide and use the hexagonal bar wrench to tighten
and secure the hex. socket hd. bolt. Adjust at this
time so that the distance between the end of the
stud used as a fixed length and the cutter is the
necessary length.
(3) Insert the stud for cutting in the cutter, aligning the
end with that of the stud used as a cutting guide,
and then cut the stud.
4. Cutting studs that are already secured (Fig. 11)
When cutting studs that are suspended from the
ceiling or secured to walls or floors.
When inserting the stud in the cutter, the meshing
of the stud thread and cutter thread is unstable. In
such a case, after inserting the stud in the cutter,
lightly pull the trigger switch to close the cutter at
low speed and then completely mesh the stud and
the upper and lower cutters. Next, pull the trigger
switch all the way to cut the stud.
CAUTION
Use your one hand to hold the stud on the side
released by cutting to insure that it does not fall
unexpectedly.
5. Removing the screw from the unit during cutting
operations
If the battery wears out during cutting operations
so that the motor stops rotating, pull the trigger
switch while pushing the forward/reverse switching
button to the reverse side (Fig. 5 (c)). The motor
will rotate in the opposite direction and it will be
possible to remove the stud from the cutter (Fig.
12).
CAUTION
When removing a stud that is suspended from
the ceiling, hold the main unit with both hands
to prevent any possibility of the stud falling.
Immediately turn off the switch once the cutter
is free from the stud. If you attempt to do this
with the switch turned on, the cutter might cut
into the stud again.
6. Using the hook
The hook can be used to hang up the unit temporarily
during operations (Fig. 13).
CAUTION
The hook should never be used to hang the unit
on your person.

7. Using the trimmer
1220
NOTE: Use a special trimmer that is suitable for the
1520
size of the stud.
If it is difficult for the nut to enter the cutting
position, either use a wrench to firmly tighten the
nut or use the accessory trimmer to remove the
flange on the screw thread.
Insert the stud in the hole on the grip. Use a pliers
to retain the stud and rotate the trimmer 5 or 6
times to the right to remove the flange and then
rotate in the opposite direction to remove the
trimmer (Fig. 14).
CAUTION
This trimmer is specially designed for Studs Cutter.
The flange on studs cut with a hacksaw or disc
grinder is too large for this trimmer so that the
trimmer does not rotate and it is not possible to
remove flange.

switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp lights
and the battery remaining power can be checked.
(Fig. 15) When releasing your finger from the
remaining battery indicator switch, the remaining
battery indicator lamp goes off. The table 5 shows
