REMOTE CONTROL OF A PORTABLE AUTOMATED CUTTER

The invention relates to a method of remote control of a portable automated cutter comprising a power cutter. The position of the power cutter is controlled by a controller based at least partly on input provided by a user via an intelligent measuring tape. The intelligent measuring tape comprising a distance sensor, an orientation sensor, a micro-controller and a user interface comprising a communication element. The user is extracting tape from the intelligent measuring tape enclosure along at least one part of a representation of a cutting off, the distance sensor establishing a linear measure of the length of the extracted tape, by activating the communication element, the user facilitates wireless communication of the established linear measure from the micro-controller to the controller, and upon receiving the linear measure, the controller controls the power cutter according to the established linear measure.
