The values given are valid for nominal voltages [U] of
230/240 V. For lower voltages and models for specific
countries, these values can vary.
Please observe the article number on the type plate of
your power tool. The trade names of individual tools may
vary.
Operation
Starting Operation

Guide the power tool at an angle of 80 to 90° to
the surface of the sheet metal and do not tilt it to
kg 1.8
the side.
Guide the power tool evenly and with moderate
/ II
feed in the cutting direction. A high feed rate sig-
nificantly reduces the service life of the cutting
tools and can damage the machine.
Wear protective gloves while working and
pay particular attention to the mains cable.
Sharp burrs can develop at the cut steel sheet
and can cause injuries to the operator or dam-
age the mains cable.
Only work with the chip deflector 2 mount-
ed. Danger of injury when working without the
chip deflector.
When cutting curves, make sure not to tilt the
power tool laterally and work with low feed rate
only.
Maximum Steel Sheet Cutting Capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
depends on the strength properties of the mate-
rial to be cut.
The machine allows for cutting of metal sheet to
