To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Hitachi Cutter wheel discolored and cutting poorly?
The wheel discoloration and poor cutting are likely due to heat damage. Replace the wheel and avoid cutting for extended periods in one spot. Consider using a water flush when recommended.
What to do if the Hitachi Cutter wheel stops when applying pressure?
If the wheel stops when applying pressure, it could be due to several reasons: 1. Applying too much pressure. Ease up on the cutting pressure. 2. Binding in a crooked cut. Ensure you are following a straight line. 3. Binding in a closing cut. Support the material to allow the cut to open. 4. A loose Rib Ace-belt. Increase the belt tension.
