Funktions:
Releasing of handles:
o To release the handles, push locking lever (1) sideways.
Cutting cables:
o Cutting cables: place cables onto fixed blade (4) and position the sickle blade (3)
onto cable until slight pressure is felt.
o The rate of cut will vary depending on the type of material being cut:
To cut at the maximum rate open and dose the handles to the maximum
spread. This allows the blade to move two steps per Operation.
To cut at a slower rate open the handles halfway and then dose. This allows
the blade to move one step per Operation.
Unlocking of the sickle blade:
o To release the sickle blade, close handles, push retaining latch (2) upwards with
handles closed. Allow the handles to open by the action of the opening spring.
o The blade can be moved forward and backwards now.
Applications:
o For cutting copper and aluminum cable and multi-core cable.
o Not suitable for cutting steel cable, ACSR, wire ropes, aluminum hard alloy and hard
drawn copper conductors!
Maintenance:
o Keep gearing clean and free from excessive oil and dirt.
o Occasional light oiling of the joints extends the life of your cable cutter considerably
