create a risk of injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or afire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation

Cable Cutters Safety Warnings
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, always
store and transport the cutter with the blades
fullyclosed.
• DO NOT CUT NON-ACSR STEEL CABLES OR OTHER
OBJECTS. This cable cutter is only intended for
cutting aluminum, copper and ACSRcables.
• Keep all body parts away from the cutters and
mechanism. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury. Do not cut short pieces of material that put fingers
near blades. Blade issharp.
• DO NOT CUT LIVE WIRES. Do not operate tool near
live wires. This tool is not manufactured to ASTM F1505,
or IEC 60900. Always de-energize lines and equipment
prior to working on, or aroundthem.
• Secure and support the cable prior to making the cut
to prevent movement during cutting. Ensure the cut-

• Keep a firm grip on the tool at all times. Forces on the
tool may change during and after thecut.
• ALWAYS wear ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA
Z94.3). Cutting operations may cause material pieces to
fly. Flying particles can cause permanent eyedamage.
• Always wear gloves when handling cable. The ends
can be sharp and can cause serious personalinjury.
• Inspect tool and blades before use. Replace any worn or
damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled tool
can break and strike operator or nearbypersonnel.

Additional Safety Information
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicalsare:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and
wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmfulchemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/
or disperse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles
away from face andbody.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing
protection that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)
during use. Under some conditions and duration
of use, noise from this product may contribute to
hearingloss.
CAUTION: When not in use, place tool on its side
on a stable surface where it will not cause a
tripping or falling hazard. Some tools with large
battery packs will stand upright on the battery pack
but may be easily knockedover.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be
caught in movingparts.
