2. Place the cable to be cut between the cutting blades.
3. Open and close the handles until the cable is cut.
Note: The automatic rapid advance mechanism will
advance the movable blade by 3 teeth each time
the handle is opened. The blade advances 1 tooth
for each closing of the handle. The rapid advance
mechanism is spring-loaded to disengage when
maximum leverage is needed to cut the cable.
4. When the cut is complete, the automatic blade
mechanism automatically returns the blade to the
open position and resets the reverse lever to cut
cable.
Note: To open the blade before the cut is complete,
move the release knob away from the link and press
the handles together. The blade spring will return the
blade to the open position.
