Area of application
This device is designed for cutting mineral wool, glass wool, rigid resol foam and hybrid insulating boards. XPS perimeter
foam boards are also suitable for cutting. The device is not suitable for EPS polystyrene insulating boards - we recommend
the STORCH ProCut top, compact or basic foam board cutter with hot wire here.
Operation
The device should only be used by an instructed person who is familiar with its operation. Use of appropriate personal
protective equipment, such as close-fitting work clothing, dust masks, safety glasses and protective gloves is recommended.
(Also refer to the section entitled "Safety precautions").
Cleaning and maintenance
Before starting to use the device all of the nuts and bolts are to be checked and re-tightened if necessary. The swivel
arm of the cutting mechanism is to be checked to ensure it is moving freely. The lock for the upper, open position of the
cutting bow can be re-adjusted by means of a self-locking screw. If the device is heavily soiled, it must be cleaned prior
to use. Check the sharpness of the cutting blades on a daily basis and replace if worn.
Safety information
Before starting to cut the insulating boards, please observe the safety precautions provided by the respective manufac-
turer. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (e.g. close-fitting work clothing, dust masks, safety glasses and
protective gloves are recommended). Only use dry utensils when cleaning; do not use any cleaning agents that contain
solvents.
Caution:
The cutting components used, especially the insulation material blades, are particularly sharp. Handle
them safely and with great care. Only use special cutting components that are designed for the device,
cordless reciprocating saw, art. no. 57 01 95 with insulating material blade, art. no. 57 01 96, insulating
material knife 48 cm, art. no. 43 62 49, and/or 48 cm mineral handsaw, art. no. 43 01 55; doing so will
ensure perfect cutting results and prevent unnecessary damage to the device.
The device should only be used if it can be operated safely. When installing the device on scaffolding additional measures
must be implemented to prevent it from falling. When the device has been installed at the designated location make sure
that it is sturdy and stable. If the device is left unattended, it should be protected against external influence and use.
The operator of the device is responsible for making sure that any sources of danger and potential tripping hazards in the
vicinity of the device are eliminated (e.g. long straps, items of packaging, etc.).
Personnel qualification
The device should only be assembled, commissioned, operated, maintained and cleaned by those persons who are au-
thorised, qualified and trained to do so.
Spare parts, consumables
All of the device components are available from STORCH and its distribution partners.
