How to use

Position the cutter so the cable sits fully inside the cutting jaws at the recommended section for copper conductors. Apply steady, controlled pressure on the handles until the blades close and sever the conductor cleanly. For thicker cables, ensure the conductor is within the specified 50 mm² capacity and rotate the cable slightly if required to achieve a smooth cut. After use, wipe the blades clean of debris and store the tool in a dry location to protect the stainless steel cutting edges.

Recommendations

For safety, always verify that the cable is de-energized before cutting and follow applicable electrical safety procedures. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as insulated gloves and eye protection, when working with power cables. Regularly inspect the cutting edges for damage and maintain the tool by cleaning and light lubrication when needed to preserve cutting performance.
