Area Of Application; Cleaning And Maintenance; Safety Precautions - Storch ProCut basic Mode D'emploi

Please observe the safety precautions
The device possesses a voltage range which can pose an electrical hazard to humans and animals in the
event of certain unfavourable conditions. It should only be unscrewed and / or disassembled by authorised
personnel. Similarly, maintenance and repair work should only be conducted by electrical specialists and
authorised service centres. The buyer / user operates the device at their own risk and under their own
responsibility.

Area of application

This device is intended exclusively for cutting rigid polystyrene foam (styrofoam).
Operation
This device should only be used by an instructed person who is familiar with its operation. Use of suitable work clothing
and protective gloves is recommended. (Also refer to the section entitled „Safety precautions"). If the device is going to
be used indoors, it should only be operated in areas that are adequately ventilated. The device operates with low voltage
and it should only be used with the connected special transformer.
The device should only be operated with the original cutting wire (d = 0.7 mm). If work is going to be
interrupted for more than 3 minutes, switch off the device.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before starting to use the device all nuts and bolts must be checked and re-tightened if necessary. Wire guide rollers and
pullout elements are to be cleaned and checked for free movement. If it is heavily contaminated (incrustation), the cutting
wire must be replaced.

Safety precautions

WARNING! Please observe the safety precautions!
Protect the device from moisture. Outdoor operation in the rain is prohibited. Only use dry utensils when
cleaning; do not use any cleaning agents that contain solvents.
Fumes are generated during the cutting process. These fumes contain extremely small amounts of styrene
that are far below the permitted limit values.
The wire gets very hot. If it comes into contact with the skin, it will inevitably result in burns. Use of
protective gloves is recommended. The wire is subjected to mechanical tension (spring force). If the hot
wire ruptures, it can generate sparks. The use of protective goggles is therefore recommended. The hot
wire (ignition source) represents a fire hazard; make sure any flammable objects are maintained at a safe
distance.
If the connecting cable (or plug) is damaged, it must be replaced immediately. Repairs to electrical com-
ponents should only be conducted by an electrician or a STORCH service centre!
Before replacing the cutting wire the device must be disconnected from the power socket!
Only use special STORCH replacement cutting wire (d = 0.7 mm), art. no. 57 00 46. The use of other
wires can damage the device, the transformer and result in subsequent damage.
