CAUTION
If the spacers are not attached or if spacers of the
wrong size are used, the threads of the cutter and
the studs will not properly mesh, thereby causing
damage to the studs and the cutter edge. Be sure
to attach spacers correctly.
2 When using the W3/8" cutter
No spacers are required. Check and confirm that
only the cutter is attached.
For details, refer to the section on "Cutter life and
replacement" on page 38.
7. Correctly insert the stud guide.
The stud guide is used to prevent tilting during
cutting of studs. Correctly adjust the dial calibration
to the mark ( ) depending on the size of the stud
to be cut (Fig. 3).
CAUTION
If the size of the stud and the dial position to do
not agree, the cut section may be subjected to burrs
or its shape may be distorted, which may result in
damage to the main unit.

8. Check plug receptacle.
If a receptacle jounces or a plug comes out easily
when a power cord is plugged in, the receptacle
needs to be repaired. Consult the nearest electric
service station for repair. Continued use of the
defective receptacle can result in overheating and
accidents.

HOW TO USE

CAUTIONS
Never bring the cutter near your fingers when
operating the trigger switch.
When cutting short studs, take caution as to not
place your fingers in the space between the stud
and main unit, such as the guard section (see Fig.
4), battery, etc.
After cutting, the cut section of the stud is very
sharp and therefore dangerous. Be very careful
when handling the stud.

1. Normal cutting method
(1) Lightly pull the trigger switch and move bracket (A),
stopping with the cutter in the open position shown
in Fig. 4.
(The switch is a variable speed switch. Lightly pulling
the trigger switch will cause bracket (A) to move
slowly.)
(2) As shown in Fig. 5, set the stud to be cut in the
cutter on the bracket (B) side, making sure that the
threads correctly mesh with each other.
(3) While maintaining the stud in a horizontal position,
pull the trigger switch all the way to cut the stud
(Fig. 4).
(4) After cutting turn off the switch with bracket (A)
facing directly upward. The unit stops with the
cutter in the open position, thus making it easier
to proceed to the next operation.

2. Cutting fixed lengths
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.
