5. Correctly insert the stud guide
The stud guide is used to prevent tilting during cutting
of studs. Correctly adjust the dial calibration to the mark
( ) depending on the size of the stud to be cut (Fig. 6).
CAUTION
If the size of the stud and the dial position to do not
agree, the cut section may be subjected to burrs or its
shape may be distorted, which may result in damage to
the main unit.
HOW TO USE
CAUTION
○ Never bring the cutter near your fi ngers when operating
the trigger switch.
○ When cutting short studs, take caution as to not place
your fi ngers in the space between the short stud and
main unit, such as the guard section (see Fig. 7),
battery, etc.
○ After cutting, the cut section of the stud is very sharp
and therefore dangerous. Be very careful when
handling the stud.
1. Normal Cutting Method
(1) Pull the trigger switch and move bracket (A), stopping
with the cutter in the open position shown in Fig. 7.
(2) As shown in Fig. 8, set the stud to be cut in the cutter
on the bracket (B) side, making sure that the threads
correctly mesh with each other.
(3) While maintaining the stud in a horizontal position, pull
the trigger switch all the way to cut the stud (Fig. 7).
(4) After cutting turn off the switch with bracket (A) facing
directly upward. The unit stops with the cutter in the
open position, thus making it easier to proceed to the
next operation.
2. Number of cuttings (per battery charging)
Refer to the chart below for the number of cuttings per
battery charging.
Battery M10
BSL1430 660
BSL1440 880
BSL1450 1100
BSL1830 790
BSL1840 1050
BSL1850 1310
The number of cuttings can also vary somewhat
according to the ambient temperature, characteristics
of the battery and the condition of the cutter.
3. Cutting fi xed lengths (Fig. 9)
When cutting several studs to the same length, using
the equipment in the following way will making cutting
operations more effi cient.
(1) First cut one stud to the required length, and then use it
as a fi xed length guide.
(2) Insert the stud used as a fi xed length guide in the stud
attachment hole found on the main unit stud guide and
use the hexagonal bar wrench to tighten and secure
the hex. socket hd. bolt. Adjust at this time so that the
distance between the end of the stud used as a fi xed
length and the cutter is the necessary length.

(3) Insert the stud for cutting in the cutter, aligning the end
with that of the stud used as a cutting guide, and then
cut the stud.
4. Cutting studs that are already secured (Fig. 10)
When cutting studs that are suspended from the ceiling
or secured to walls or fl oors.
When inserting the stud in the cutter, the meshing of
the stud thread and cutter thread is unstable. In such
a case, after inserting the stud in the cutter, lightly pull
the trigger switch to close the cutter at low speed and
then completely mesh the stud and the upper and lower
cutters. Next, pull the trigger switch all the way to cut
the stud.
CAUTION
Use your one hand to hold the stud on the side released
by cutting to insure that it does not fall unexpectedly.
5. Removing the screw from the unit during cutting
operations
If the battery wears out during cutting operations so
that the motor stops rotating, pull the trigger switch
while pushing the forward/reverse switching button to
the reverse side (Fig. 4 (c)). The motor will rotate in the
opposite direction and it will be possible to remove the
stud from the cutter (Fig. 11).
CAUTION
○ When removing a stud that is suspended from
the ceiling, hold the main unit with both hands to
prevent any possibility of the stud falling.
○ Immediately turn off the switch once the cutter is
free from the stud. If you attempt to do this with the
switch turned on, the cutter might cut into the stud
again.
6. Using the hook
The hook can be used to hang up the unit temporarily
during operations (Fig. 12).
CAUTION
The hook should never be used to hang the unit on your
person.
When using the hook, check to make sure that the main
unit will not slip and fall, or become unstable by the
wind, etc.
740
Never hang the unit from your belt or trousers as this
980
could cause accidents.
NOTE
1220
During normal use or during storage, store the hook in
920
the latch found on the bottom of the main unit.

7. Using the trimmer
NOTE: Use a special trimmer that is suitable for the size
1520
of the stud.
If it is diffi cult for the nut to enter the cutting position,
either use a wrench to fi rmly tighten the nut or use the
accessory trimmer to remove the fl ange on the screw
thread.
Insert the stud in the hole on the grip. Use a pliers to
retain the stud and rotate the trimmer 5 or 6 times to
the right to remove the fl ange and then rotate in the
opposite direction to remove the trimmer (Fig. 13).
CAUTION
This trimmer is specially designed for Studs Cutter. The
fl ange on studs cut with a hacksaw or disc grinder is too
large for this trimmer so that the trimmer does not rotate
and it is not possible to remove fl ange.
