Chapter 2 Basic operation This chapter describes normal operation of the device such as the replacing/attaching of tools or works. Chapter 3 When abnormal conditions are encountered This chapter describes how to correct troubles after the occurrence of an abnormal condition on the device.
  • Page 17: Features Of The Device

    FEATURES OF THE DEVICE The device is capable of cutting heavy-weight materials and solid materials. The device performs high-pressure cutting to permit the maximum cutting weight of 1.5 kg (5.0 kg for TD- and TF-heads). It also permits the setting of heavy-weight materials as heavy as 25 mm. With its tangential control that demonstrates its capability particularly when cutting hard materials, the device is able to cut, as desied, many different kinds of materials such as high-intensity reflective sheet, sand blast rubber, industrial sheet rubber and corrugated board.
  • Page 18 High-quality performance with its most-advanced functions, Start/end point correction In the case of processing heavy-weight works, works can be easily cut out by correcting the start and end posi- tions for cutting. Pressure correction In the case of cutting heavy-weight works, works can be fully cut with no portion remained uncut by correct- ing the pressure employed to lower the tool.
