Operating Instructions
1. Intended use. This Power Tool is intended for industrial
applications, for cutting sheet metal (maximum capacity is
indicated in the Specifications), for use with cutting jaws
and cutting blades which are indicated in these operating
instructions or recommended by DRÄCO
2. Initial Operation
Observe the rated voltage: The voltage of the power
source must match that given on the nameplate of the
machine. Chargers for 230V can also be operated on 220
V power sources.
Switching ON and OFF
Switching ON: Slide the switch (93) forward
Switching OFF: Slide the switch (93) to the rear.
1. The material to be cut must always be free of oil or
grease. Always place the machine flat on the work piece
2. Cut-outs: Drill a starting hole with a 12-14 mm diameter
drill. Circular cuts: Always cut counter clockwise and
from left to right.
3. Do NOT cut sheet metal along welding points. Do
NOT cut multi layer sheets, which exceed the
maximum cutting capacity.
4. Battery Change
Before using the cordless tool, charge a new or empty
battery. The full capacity is reached, after charging the
battery about 4-5 times.
Insert the battery (A)
Insert the battery from the back, until it clicks into place.
Abb. A Abb. B
Remove battery (B)
Press both stop locks together, take battery off, see arrow.
5. For inside cutting, if cutting a radius with the right hand,
cut from right to left. The outside radius is unlimited.
6. For cutting out curved or circular inside patterns, a 14 mm
(± 1/2 “) hole, or a punched slot should be made to insert
the centre cutter.
7. If after cutting, a small strip remains this can easily be
trimmed off to the exact measurement, without leaving a
burr or any distortion of the material. Just one side of the
cordless tools can be used for cutting also (e.g. along a
marked line). Lift the power tools out of the shavings while
the motor is running. Cut off longer shavings.
8. Both knife and jaws can be sharpened. After being
sharpened or replaced, the knife at it’s lowest point should
protrude the jaws by approximately 3 mm. The knife should
have approximately 0,05 mm (0,005”) play on each side of
the jaws, centring the cutter with spacing shims supplied.
9. Every 200 operating ours have the cutting blade and
cutting jaws sharpened at a specialist workshop.
10. Ensure that the material to be cut is free of oil and
grease.
