Funktions:
Releasing of handles:
oTo release the handles, push locking lever (1) sideways.
Cutting cables:
oCutting cables: place cables onto fixed blade (4) and position the sickle blade (3)
onto cable until slight pressure is felt.
oThe rate of cut will vary depending on the type of material being cut:
To cut at the maximum rate open and dose the handles to the maximum
spread. This allows the blade to move two steps per Operation.
To cut at a slower rate open the handles halfway and then dose. This allows
the blade to move one step per Operation.
Unlocking of the sickle blade:
oTo release the sickle blade, close handles, push retaining latch (2) upwards with
handles closed. Allow the handles to open by the action of the opening spring.
oThe blade can be moved forward and backwards now.
Applications:
oFor cutting copper and aluminum cable and multi-core cable.
oNot suitable for cutting steel cable, ACSR, wire ropes, aluminum hard alloy and hard
drawn copper conductors!
Maintenance:
oKeep gearing clean and free from excessive oil and dirt.
oOccasional light oiling of the joints extends the life of your cable cutter considerably

1 000 V
General:
This cable cutter meets the requirements for insulated tools according to DIN EN 60 900 or
IEC 60 900.
Working live or near electrical voltage does not become safe by the use of insulated tools only.
Work must only be carried out by specially trained persons who are familiar with the basic
hazards of working live and who are aware of the necessary safety precautions that go beyond
the insulation of the tools.
The relevant requirements can be found, for example, in DGUV A3, DIN VDE 0105-100, DIN
VDE 1000-10, EN 50110-1 or NFPA 70E.
Before each use, the insulation of the handles must be visually inspected for possible damage.
oIf there is any damage, the tool cannot be used any longer and must be excluded
from service immediately.
Cutting cables in electrical installations:
When cutting cables in electrical installations, the 5 safety rules for working on electrical installations
must be observed:
1. disconnect;
2. Secure against being switched on again;
3. determine absence of voltage;
4. earth and short-circuit;
5. Cover or isolate neighbouring live parts.
In addition to the use of an insulated cable cutter, insulating gloves according to IEC 60903
and an approved face shield should be worn to protect against unexpected electric arcs.
When cutting, the cable cutter must only be handled by gripping the insulated handles below
the slip guard.

Cutting live / hot cables:
If a cable must be cut that could be electrically live or is known to be electrically live, additional
measures are required, at least the following:
Additional insulating gloves according to IEC 60903 must be worn
An approved face shield must be worn to protect against unexpected electric arcs
Clothing worn must have adequate arc protection
Conductors in multi-conductor cables must first be separated and then cut individually.
Live ends must be covered immediately after cutting e.g. with slip-on or self-clamping sleeves,
for example KNIPEX article no. 98 65 xx and 98 66 xx
When cutting, the cable cutter must only be held by the insulated handles below the slip
guard.
If a cut has to be interrupted, use suitable insulating, insulated or hybrid pliers according to
IEC 60900 / DIN EN 60900 to operate the retaining latch (2) and to pull out the sickle blade
(3), e.g. the insulating gripping pliers KNIPEX No.: 98 62 01

handles / allow the
handles to open by spring
action.
With the handles held
closed, press the retaining
latch (2) upwards with the
insulating or hybrid pliers.
The
sickle blade (3)
is now free and can be pulled out of the cable either by pulling the cable cutter
back from the cable or by pulling the sickle blade out of the cable with insulated / insulating or
hybrid pliers.
Be protected by certified
insulating gloves with the
appropriate insulation class for the voltage working on.
Wear approved safety goggles and/or face shield.
