Note: Do not exceed these maximum cutting capacities for this tool or tool damage will occur.
When cutting with this tool, observe the following important directions:
The cable must enter into the jaws of the tool exactly perpendicular (90 degrees) to the cutting blades so as to result in a circular cross-section cut.
When cutting self-support cable, always orient the supporting strand so it faces the handles for maximum leverage.
If you encounter excessive cutting resistance, use a one click cutting cycle until the cutter moves freely.
Tighten the fulcrum nut periodically and keep the handle bolts tight. The tool will not operate properly unless the fulcrum nut is at least 15 ft-lbs. (20 Newton meters).
Blades made from 6150 alloy steel
Never use this tool to cut electrically energized cable. Severe or fatal injury may result.
