Risk of hearing damage Wear ear protection Illegible or missing warning signs must immediately be replaced by the operator.
(13) Return stroke setting The machine requires an electrical connection and a compressed air connection. The pressure of the compressed air can be adjusted at the compressed air maintenance unit (5). The bending pins (1) prevent the cutting knife from getting jammed by the work piece and enhance the cutting performance.
