Safety
1.1 Possible Dangers operating the Machine
The Steel Cutter Model RC has been manufactured according to the latest
technical knowledge and is operationally reliable. A functional and safety test
has been carried out. In spite of this fact, it is possible that certain dangers are
imminent if the cutter is not being operated by trained personnel or at least
personnel who has received relevant instruction on the operation. The same
goes for using the steel cutter if it is being operated in an inappropriate manner
and if it is being used for purposes which it has not been destined for.
ATTENTION:
1.2 Safety Instructions
During the cutting of steel, especially when cutting pieces under 20 cm in
length, there is always the risk of flying steel fragments. This can lead to
serious injuries to any bystanders who are within the danger area. This danger
area is a considerable area located within the circumference where the
operating is taking place. Operate the steel cutter only if there are no
bystanders within the danger area.
• Always wear safety goggles or a full-face shield when cutting.
• Always wear proper working clothes. It is not appropriate to wear wide
clothes, because it might get caught between the cutter blades.
• Always hold the cutter with both hands at the corresponding handles.
Keep your fingers away from the cutter blades.
• Before cutting, the steel bar must rest fully within the cutter blades.
• Avoid any unintentional operation of the cutter. Never carry the cutter
with your finger being at the switch.
• To prevent an electrical shock, never cut any cables which are current-
carrying.
• If you are not using the cutter head or in case you are replacing it,
always disconnect the pneumatic air-hose and let the remaining air
escape by pressing the switch.
• Never use the steel cutter if you cannot concentrate on your work or if
your mind is diverted. Do by no means use the steel cutter if you are
under the influence of alcohol or tablets.
