NOTE
Insert line cutter into vice with ignition loop positioned upward 45°. Ensure bottom
of line cutter is not directed toward flammable structure or materials.
To allow for delayed activation, use stopwatch to measure seconds between pulling
ignition loop and firing of line cutter.
Using pliers, carefully pull ignition loop from line cutter.
To prevent errant blade discharge, carefully thread braided cord through line
cutter hole of the removed line cutter. Tie ends of braided cord together securely.
To ensure line cutter is inert, verify knife blade has extended.
Too much pressure in vise clamp could damage line cutter and prevent proper activation.
Do not crush line cutter in vise clamp.
