OPERATING PRECAUTIONS 12. Use clear hydraulic fluid MV-32 available from your dealer or HTI. 13. When cutting, keep area clear of spectators as hardened metals may fly apart when severed. 14. Always cut the material at a 90 degree angle to the blade. Any other angle may cause the blade and head shear to fracture.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Before cutting, make sure the material being cut is within the proper cutting capacity of the tool being used. 2. Open cutter head by lifting latch or removing lock pin, depending on the model being used. 3. Insert material between cutter head and blade and secure latch. It is important that you check the latch for proper engagement before continuing with the cut.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE 1. Problem: Small wire strands or pieces of cable or debris get jammed between the cutter head and blade, not allowing the blade to retract. Solution: A) Hold release lever down while tapping on the ram with a block of wood and a hammer. If this does not work or tool continues to hang up, proceed to step “B”.
