  • Page 13: Cutting

    The blades on AMKUS cutters effectively cut steering columns, brake pedals, door mechanisms, CAUTION and other vehicle items as necessary for extrication. However, using AMKUS cutters as a piercing tool for heavy metal is not recommended. Therefore, when cutting, take care to insure the blade tips move through a clear path of travel.

    The use of damaged blades decreases the cutting efficiency of the tool and can overheat the motor. Replace the blades when they become worn, cracked, or gouged. (Consult AMKUS Rescue Systems) Check the torque on the cutter and combination tool pivot bolt monthly. Proper pivot bolt torque is 140 ft-lb (190 N-m).
