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.
Never hang the unit from your belt or trousers as
this could cause accidents.
NOTE
During normal use or during storage, store the hook
in 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 of the stud.
If it is difficult for the nut to enter the cutting
position, either use a wrench to firmly tighten the
nut or use the accessory trimmer to remove the
flange 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 flange and then
rotate in the opposite direction to remove the
trimmer (Fig. 13).

CAUTION
This trimmer is specially designed for Studs Cutter.
The flange 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 flange.
CUTTER LIFE AND REPLACEMENT
1. Cutter life
As is shown in Fig. 14, repeated cutting can cause
breaking and warping of the cutter edge. Using the
cutter in this condition can produce flange on the
cutting location of the studs so that the threads are
distorted. This will prevent clean cuts and make it
impossible to insert the nut.
Breaking
As is shown in Fig. 15, the edge is found on four
locations on the cutter. Use the method described
below to change the attachment direction of the
cutter to allow a total of four usages.
If the nut does not fit on the screw due to breaking
and warping of the edge, change the cutter
attachment direction to use the edge without
breaking and warping or replace with a new cutter.
