HOW TO USE

CAUTIONS
Never bring the cutter near your fingers when
operating the switch.
When cutting short studs, never place your fingers
in the space between the guard section on the main
unit (see Fig. 7) and the continuous thread stud.
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. 7.
(The switch is a variable speed switch. Lightly pulling
the trigger switch will cause bracket (A) to move
slowly.)
(2) As shown in Fig. 8, 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. 7).
(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.

Number of cuttings
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
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
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 left hand to hold the screw on the side
released by cutting to insure that it does not fall
unexpectedly.
