Abstract

The control device (10) has an operating lever (11) and a stationary console (12). The mechanical devices (36,37) are assigned to the operating lever with force variation points or areas for each oscillatory moving direction. The mechanical devices are arranged between the console and the cross clamps (21,22) above an assembly plane (13). The cutting axes (18,19) run below the assembly plane of the console for the cross clamps.
