operation
Check whether material thickness and roof profile dimensions are
within allowable range specified in this instruction.
TO CUT FULL LENGTH PROFILE
Before cutting the vertical leg, confirm the cutter is able to ride under the
seamed profile as shown in the image below.
1. Expose both ends of the seam to ensure the FSXC2 CUTTER may oper-
ate over the full length of the seam.
2. Position the FSXC2 CUTTER at a seam end with the seam centered be-
tween the wheels.
3. With the drill set to speed 1, use the variable speed trigger to feed the
cutter on to the seam. Once the cutter is feeding material correctly, fully
depress the trigger and cut the seam off of the roofing material.
Cutting wheels must ride under the seam.
Cutting disc
Use correct cutting position! Machine is not designed to cut the mid-
dle of the seam continuously. It is only allowed for crossing the seam
– going in and out. Do not cut more than 4 layers of metal!
TO CUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE PROFILE
The FSXC2 CUTTER may be started or stopped mid seam if required.
1. Center the cutter over the seam and tilt the cutting wheels down (20-30
degrees towards the direction you intend to cut.
