cutting blade rotation speed.
“0” Position The cutting blade does not rotate (even if the 4) push button on the
control handgrip is pressed.
“1” Position This is the lowest speed position (44 rpm). It is a suitable speed to cut
hard metal and full section bars.
“2” Position This is the highest speed position (88 rpm). Such speed is suitable to
cut profiles and low thickness tubes.
The speed commutator can be padlocked. Padlock it when the switch is
set to “0”, before carrying out any maintenance or repairing operations.
3. Handgrip with control push button (4). The control handgrip (the
operator must be present) is intended to lift or lower the head,
performing this way the cutting operation. This handgrip consists of a
tube, screwed into the machine head: on the tube end there is the
control handgrip with its push button. By pressing the (4) push button
the cutting blade rotation starts, while by realizing it, the rotation stops.
Furthermore, the handgrip is equipped with a protection device against
accidental starting.
