8.0  MAJOR FEATURES AND COMPONENTS

8.1  Rotatable Cutting Head

NOTICE:

  WARNING

If the tool is connected to an AC power 

supply, the blades can still be closed, even when 

manual release lever is set to the unlocked position. 

Do not place hands, fingers or other parts of your 

body inside the cutting head unless the cutter is 

disconnected from the AC power supply. Failure to 

follow these instructions and precautions could 

result in death or serious personal injury.

NOTICE:

  WARNING

Turning the manual release lever to the 

unlocked position when spreading will allow the 

jaws to depressurize, allowing objects being spread 

to potentially become destabilized or return to their 

original position. Death, serious personal injury, or 

damage to equipment could result.

NOTICE:

  WARNING

Always disconnect the cutter from the 

AC power supply before rotating the cutting head.

  CAUTION

To prevent possible oil leakage, do not 

loosen the manual release lever more than one half 

turn counter-clockwise.

NOTICE

The cutting head can be rotated only when 

the tool is not pressurized. When the manual release 

lever is in the unlocked position, the tool will 

depressurize, allowing the head to rotate. When in a 

depressurized state, the jaws can be closed, but 

cannot be opened.

NOTICE

Operate cutter only when the manual 

release lever is in the locked position. Jaws will not 

open when the manual release lever is in the 

unlocked position.

Be sure that the cutter is disconnected from the AC 

power supply. Turn the manual release lever counter-

clockwise to position 2 (down) to release the cutting 

head.

Using the positioning handle, rotate the cutting head to 

the desired position.
Return the manual release lever to the locked position. 

See Figures 2 and 3.

NOTICE

The head can still be rotated with the 

manual release lever in the locked position if the tool 

is not under load. The head locks when the manual 

release lever is in the locked position and the tool is 

under load.
