Important Features of the ETS12
The hydraulic unit incorporates an automatic retrac-
tion, which returns the piston and moveable blade to
the starting position when the maximum cutting force
is achieved.
The unit is equipped with a special brake, which stops
the forward motion of the piston when the trigger is
released.
The cutting head of the ETS12 has been designed to
turn 360° around the longitudinal axis in order to gain
the best access to tight corners and other difcult
working areas.
Operating the Tool
1. Check cutting head to ensure the piston and move-
able blade are fully retracted. If necessary, pull the
retract slide in the direction of the arrow.
2. After positioning the wire/bolt between the open
cutting blades, actuate the trigger to start the
cutting cycle.
Note: Do not twist work piece or tool during cutting
operation. Blade failure could result.
Note: The cutting process can be interrupted at
any moment by releasing the trigger. By actuating
the retract slide, the piston and moveable blade will
return to the starting position.
3. After reaching the maximum operating pressure, the
piston and moveable blade will automatically return
to the starting position.
