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.
