2. INTRODUCTION
Bench mounting, 8mm plate-steel disc cutter suitable for cutting up to 16 gauge steel sheet.
Deep throat and small cutting disc allows tighter curves to be cut than traditional straight blade cutters. Ratchet action cutter blade. Suitable for
car restoration work as well as general workshop use.
3. OPERATION
3.1. SET-UP (see fig.1)
ALWAYS wear gloves when adjusting the cutter wheel.
3.1.1. The edge of the cutter wheel needs to overlap the edge of the feeder wheel
by approximately the same value as the thickness of the metal to be cut. It is
recommended that a piece of scrap material of the type to be cut is used to determine the
optimum setting.
3.1.2. To achieve this, firstly loosen both the upper and lower grub screws using the hex key
provided.
3.1.3. To increase the overlap, screw the lower grub screw in (clockwise) until the required
overlap is reached. Tighten the upper grub screw u ntil a gentle clamping force is applied.
3.1.4. To decrease the overlap, slacken the lower grub screw and turn the upper grub
screw clockwise until the required overlap is reached. Tighten the lower grub screw gently
to lock the cutter wheel.
3.1.5. If the cutter wheel is reluctant to move, use the flats on the tail of the cam shaft to move
the cutter wheel and reset accurately using the grub screws.
3.2. CUTTING
3.2.1. Having set the overlap, introduce the workpiece into the bite between the cutter wheel and
feed wheel.
3.2.2. Make sure that waste side of the work is to the right (feeder wheel) side.
3.2.3. Making sure that the pawl is sitting over the ratchet, pull the handle forward whilst applying
slight pressure with your other hand toward the cut.
3.2.4. Keep the cutting action smooth until the cut is finished. If the action is stiff, reduce the overlap slightly as in 3.1.4.
