Transcript: - Hi, I'm Maria the Tool Fox, and this is the Cutfox 10 from Phoenix Contact. The Cutfox 10 will save you time, provide consistency in wire lengths, and eliminate the need for large workspaces and measuring tapes. The device provides an easy way of cutting specific measurements of wire. Let's say you're working on a panel requiring multiple lengths and quantities of a wire. Instead of stretch, measure, cut, stretch, measure, cut many times, you could use the Cutfox 10 to save you from the aggravation.
The device will cut 20 to 8 gauge and automatically adjusts itself for the gauge size. I will show you how easy it is to use the device. Power on the device. The switch is in the back. Press the door release button on the top of the machine and gently open the door downward. Feed the wire into the machine, placing it between the wheels and out the other side through the cutters. Close the door. Enter the desired length and quantity into the display on the top of the unit, and then press start. The first piece will be scrap. It's that simple.
Okay, let's say you're working on a project that is spec'd in inches, and the machine is currently operating in millimeters as the unit defaults to millimeters. You will need to change the unit of measurement. But no worries, it's easy to do. You can change the unit of measurement with a few easy steps. Press and hold the mode button for approximately 6 seconds until this display appears. Press the number 4 key. The boxed measurement is the current setting. Press the number 2 key for metric, or the number 8 key for inch. Press Enter to exit to the main screen. Press the number 1 key to return to the Home screen.
Now, let's say the machine is not giving you the proper lengths. You may need to adjust or calibrate the device. This can be done in a few steps. But first, there are a few items to check. Check if the rollers are worn and replace them. If the insulation on the wire is very hard, the metering roller can be exchanged with steel rollers. Set the clamping pressure with the adjusting wheel. Rotate left for more pressure or right for less pressure. If the length cut is not consistent with the length set, the Cutfox 10 must be recalibrated to ensure proper lengths.
Before beginning, use some scrap wire and tell the machine to give you 1 meter. Measure this meter to determine if it is too short or too long. Press and hold the Mode button for approximately 6 seconds until this display appears. Press the number 1 key. A value for length adjustment is displayed. This number indicates the number of pulses per meter. The number 2 key lowers this value if your scrapped meter wire is too long or the number 8 if it was too short. Press the Enter key. Request another meter of wire to test this measurement and repeat the steps if necessary. Words of caution: If your shop is set up with spools of wire on a rack or on the wall, please note that the tension required to pull the wire off the spool could affect the length accuracy. Please be sure to keep the spooled wire loose.
The Cutfox 10 will save you time, provide consistency in wire lengths, and eliminate the need for large workspaces and measuring tapes. It can also be set up to cut jobs with APC, or manually if you prefer. Additional instructions can be found in the manual. Misplaced your copy? No problem.
