OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Tools are NOT insulated for use on or near energized conductors. Use of these tools
near energized conductors may lead to electrical shock, causing severe injury or death.
Do NOT use these tools near energized conductors without adequately insulating operator
and surroundings.
Blade hazard. Always disconnect the cable cutter from the hydraulic power source
before blade replacement or installation to avoid serious injury.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades have sharp edges that may cause personal injury while
not in use or during blade replacement or installation. Use caution and personal protective
equipment when handling tool and blades.
Projectile hazard. Cutter blades may break during operation due to stress cracks or
misapplication. Always carefully inspect blades before use and aim the opening of the
head of the tool away from your body and bystanders to avoid serious personal injury.
Projectile hazard. Chards from cut cable may be flung off at high speeds and can
cause severe injury. Always tape or wire the end(s) of the cable being cut to prevent
flying chards.
Operator must clear all bystanders from the work area when handling, starting, and
operating a tool to avoid potential injury to bystanders.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure. Always depressurize the hydraulic system before
connecting or disconnecting a tool to avoid injury from escaping hydraulic fluid. If injury
results from escaping hydraulic fluid, seek immediate medical attention to avoid serious
bodily injury.
Hydraulic fluid under pressure. Do NOT use any part of your body to locate a hydraulic
leak. Escaping fluid under pressure can cause severe injury or death. If injury results
from escaping hydraulic fluid, seek immediate medical attention to avoid serious bodily
injury.
Hot hydraulic fluid. Exposure to hot hydraulic fluid can cause severe burns. Do NOT
connect or disconnect a tool while the hydraulic power source is running and/or if
hydraulic fluid is hot.
