      If your Greenlee Cutter tool isn't working, it might be due to a few reasons. The ram area could be contaminated with dirt or debris, in which case you should clean the tool. Another possibility is damaged battery contacts; try reforming them. If these steps don't solve the issue, the tool components may be worn or damaged, requiring you to return the tool to an authorized Greenlee service center.
