2.1 Intended use
Warning
Risk of injury
¾ Only use the machine for work and materials as described
under "Intended use."
The TRUMPF C 160-5 Slitting Shears are a compressed-air tool
used for the following applications:
• Cutting plate-shaped workpieces, e.g. steel, aluminium, and
plastic.
• Cutting straight or curved exterior and inner cutouts.
• Cutting along scribed lines.
The TRUMPF C 160-5 PLUS Slitting Shears also allows you to cut
off chips that are produced while machining the workpiece as
required.

3.3 Selection of tools
Information
The blades have 2 cutting edges. They cannot be resharpened.
Different types of blades are required according to the thickness or
tensile strength of the workpiece (see Tab. 5, p. 10).
Information
If the blade is not selected as specified in the table,
– the quality of cut will be severely impaired.
– the feed power increases significantly.
– the blade will break.

Recommended lubricant
• BP Energol RD 80 (-15° to +10°C/+5° to +50°F).
• BP Energol RD-E80 (+10° to +30°C/+50° to +86°F).
• Shell Tellus Oil 15 (-15° to +10°C/+5° to +50°F).
• Torculla 33 (+10° to +30°C/+50° to +86°F).
Information
Secure the compressed-air hose against undesired movements
using a compressed-air safety device.
5.4 Replacing fins
Worn fins decrease machine performance.
¾ Have the fin set checked and replaced as needed by a
qualified technician.
Information
Only use original replacement parts and observe the information
