OPERATION
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.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades move at high
speed and force and can cause severe
personal injury. Keep all body parts
away from moving parts of the tool during
operation.
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 to avoid serious personal
injury.
Projectile hazard. Operator must clear all
bystanders from the work area especially
when cutting cable and rebar ends to avoid
potential injury to bystanders.
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.
Do NOT over-reach while operating this tool.
Loss of balance can cause serious personal
injury or death. Move closer to work area
and securely support yourself and your
work. ALWAYS keep proper footing and
balance.
NOTE: Do not immerse the tool in water, as it is not
designed to operate under water. This is considered abuse
and will void the warranty! Always use the tool lanyard
provided to prevent dropping the BP18CC129ACSR.
ANDERSON
1) Read and follow the PRE-OPERATION instructions
and Battery Instruction Manual. Insert a battery into the
tool according to the PRE-OPERATION instructions.
2) Ensure that ram is fully retracted by depressing the
upper trigger.
3) Make certain the latch bar is completely engaged and
locked.
4) Be sure to cut only one conductor at a time.
5)
When cutting bare conductor, apply tape or wire
around the cable being cut to hold the individual
strands together.
6) If cutting near the end of a cable length, rebar or
groundrod, cover the end and direct it away from any
bystanders.
7) With the head of the tool facing AWAY from your body,
place the cable between the open blades in the cutter
tool.
8) Depress the lower trigger; the ram will advance the
lower cutter blade during the activation cycle to cut
the cable. For best result make every effort to keep
the cable perpendicular to the cable cutter tool.
Failure to do so will cause damage to the tool and
may lead to serious personal injury.
9) When the cable is cut, release the trigger and depress
the upper trigger to retract the ram.
Always make certain that the latch bar is completely locked
before operating the tool. To remove and install the tool
from a span of cable, open the latch of the tool by pulling
on the latch bar and pivot the latch open. Failure to follow
this procedure could cause damage to the tool.
