To cut rail, recommendations
Note: With correct cutting technique, the time to cut a 50
kg/m rail is 1 minute and to cut 60 kg/m rail is 1.5
minute. If more time is necessary, do a check of the
cutting technique and the cutting blades. Incorrect
cutting technique causes problems, such as cuts that
are not accurate. An incorrect, blunt or worn cutting
blade can also cause cuts that are not accurate.
•
To get accurate cuts, only use high quality cutting
blades that are made specially to cut rail.
•
To make straight cuts, start with these steps:
1. Apply full throttle until the blade is at full
speed.
2. Decrease the throttle and keep it below the
speed limit until the cutting blade is stable
with no vibrations.
3. Start to cut.
4. Apply full throttle and keep full speed until
the cut is completed.
•
Hold the product handle with your hands aligned with
the cutting blade. This gives a straight cut and
decreases the wear on the cutting blade.
•
For the best result and a straight cut, install the
power cutter with its right side to the fixture.
