4.1.2 Use of cutting dies
Two different types of cutting dies are available (pic. 44, 46). The UC 40 can cut all copper and aluminium cables/
conductors < 25 mm Ø in combination with UAM. The larger cables/conductors show the best results respectively
the least deformations.
Attention
Do only cut copper and aluminium cables/conductors with UC 40!
For cutting ACSR conductors you must only use the UCACSR cutting blades.
Attention
Do not use cutting dies UC40 and UCACSR without the UAM adapter.
Attention
Cutting ACSR conductors or steel fortifi ed cables do always wear safety glasses.
Fractions of reenforced steel conductors can be propelled towards the operator with high speed and could cause
severe injuries.
When cutting threaded rods they must be in a right angle to the cutting blades to provide a clean cut. The threaded
rods must be cleaned of chips prior to cutting. The cutting cycle should be proceeded until the blades have reached
their fi nal position in order to provide clean cutting edges.
The DIN rail cutting dies are equipped with a sheet metal guide which facilitate a cut in a right angle.
When the cut is completed the retraction is provided by actuating the retract button (pic. 1.2) once.
4.1.3 Use of the punch adapter
The advance (penetration) of the punch into the die must be observed carefully. As soon as the sheet metal is pun-
ched the punching cycle must be terminated by releasing the trigger (pic. 1.7).
The retraction is provided by actuating the retract button (pic. 1.2) once.
Attention
If the punching cycle is not terminated after the sheet metal is punched the punch will contact the die which
might result in fracture of one or the other.
