How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades at the required length and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the cable is severed. For larger diameter cables, make sure the cable fits within the cutter's jaw opening before applying force. Keep the cutting head perpendicular to the cable to achieve a straight, clean cut. After cutting, inspect the conductor and insulation to confirm a clean edge and re-trim if necessary.

Recommendations

Use the tool on appropriate cable types within its capacity and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials not intended for cable cutters. Wear suitable hand protection and observe standard electrical safety practices: disconnect power before cutting live wiring. Store the cutter dry and clean to maintain blade condition and check periodically for wear or damage.
