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 side. The motor will rotate in the
opposite direction and it will be possible to remove
the stud from the cutter (Fig. 11).
CAUTIONS
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. 12).
CAUTION
The hook should never be used to hang the unit
on your person.
Never hang the unit from your belt or trousers as
this could cause accidents.
NOTE
During normal use or during storage, store the hook
in the latch found on the bottom of the main unit.

7. Using the trimmer
NOTE: Use a special trimmer that is suitable for the
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.
(1) Long studs
Insert the screw in the narrow hole on the grip,
rotate 5 or 6 times to the left to remove the flange
and then rotate in the opposite direction to remove
(Fig. 13).

(2) Short studs
When removing the flange on short studs, insert
the stud straight into the wide side of the trimmer
grip, being careful not to bend the stud. Use a pliers
to retain the stud and rotate the trimmer to remove
the flange (Fig. 14).
Pliers
CAUTION
This trimmer is specially designed for studs cut with
a special cutter for such studs. 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.
