___________________________________________________________________________
After cutting a live cable the unit must be checked in respect of possible damages. If the
blades (Pos.-No. 12) are damaged they can be exchanged by the operator.
9.
Remove the cutting head from the cutting location by using the appropriate carrying
points (Cylinder body, handles)
10.
After use the safety cutting unit must be cleaned carefully. The insulated hose must be
treated with special care. It must be cleaned with a dry clean cloth and the coupling
(Pos.-No. 3) must be checked in respect of possible damages. Afterwards the unit must
be stored away in the appropriate carrying case.
Notes on the use of the cutting head SSK85/3
Attention
Do not open the cutting head unless the blades returned into their starting
position. Otherwise the cutting blades can be damaged.
Attention
Please check whether the cutting head is securely locked before starting the
cutting cycle.
5.2. Explanation of the application range
Do not cut reinforced cables/conductors with steel fortification (e.g. pit cables, self
supporting overhead cables, sea cables, etc.).
The safety cutting unit can be operated within the temperature range of -20°C to +40°C
inside and outside.
Attention
Do not operate the unit during rain.
5.3. Remarks in respect of alternative means to determine live lines
If the cable or insulated line can clearly be traced back from the switch-off point to the
cutting point, e.g. through cable maps, markings, cable tracing equipment and other means,
it is not mandatory to check the line at the working site if the voltage-free status has been
positively determined at the switch off point.
The voltage free state at the working site must be determined with all poles. Suitable
devices for determining a voltage-free state are voltage testers.
In case it is not possible to clearly identify the voltage-free cable or insulated line the
voltage-free status must be determined with the help of this safety cutting unit.
5.4. Service and Maintenance instructions
The safety cutting unit must be cleaned and dried after each use according to EN 50110
part 1 and a dry state must be provided before storage. Also the battery cartridge (Pos.-No.
13) and the charging unit have to be protected against humidity and dust.
After each use the unit must be checked for obvious faults. Special attention should be
drawn to the insulating hose (Pos.-No. 9). The quick coupling (Pos.-No. 3) on the
insulating hose must also be examined for damages. Within the scope of the inspection the
blades (Pos.-No. 12) must be checked in respect of inadmissible changes.
