Cutting Cable
1. Insert the cable to be cut into the cutting head.
2. Pull the trigger to make the cut.
3. Hold the trigger down until the cutting tool achieves
pressure relief, which is accompanied by an audible
“pop”.
4. The cutting tool returns automatically.
Note: For some cables more than one cutting cycle may
be required to complete the cut. If the cable is not fully
cut during the first cycle, move the cable as close to the
jaw pivot as possible and cycle the tool again.
Note: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a cutting
cycle is completed, push the retract button. Pushing
the retract button will result in the complete retraction
of the ram.
