WARNING
Risk of injury! Risk of serious injury during the cutting operation.
▶ During the cutting operation great care must be taken to ensure that the hands and fingers are kept well
clear of the cutting head.
For cutting in tight spaces or where access is difficult, the cutting head can be rotated through 350°
about its longitudinal axis.
In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the pressing operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
pressing operations to heat up the pressing tool.
1. Rotate the cutting head to the desired working position.
2. Place the cable to be cut in the cutting head or, respectively, guide the cutting head into position around
the cable to be cut.
Always make sure that the cable to be cut is fully inserted into the cutting head.
Do not exceed the maximum cutting capacity.
Do not attempt to cut a cable that cannot be inserted fully into the cutting head.
3. Press the control switch.
4. Keep the control switch pressed until the product begins to release pressure. This is accompanied by a
clearly audible pop.
When the cut has been made, the product returns automatically to its initial position.
