STEP 1 - ASSEMBLY

Remove the hex nut from the curved handle c. Put the threaded screw
into the blade shaft and push out the red plug. Screw on the hex nut
with the counterbored side against the blade. Tighten the nut with an
adjustable wrench.

STEP 2 - CABLE CLAMPING

RS - 101 WITH THUMB NUT CLAMPING
Back-up thumb screw a & insert cable b into the channel. Hold cable b
in place with your thumb. Now turn thumb screw a clockwise until the tip
of the clamping stud e falls into the helical groove of the cable casing
b. Secure by hand tightening thumb screw a. Note: Do not tighten with
pliers, only hand tightening is required to clamp the cable securely.
RS - 101A, RS - 101AL & RF - 120A
WITH QUICK CLAMPING
Unscrew knob a and insert cable b into the channel. Squeeze quick
clamping lever until the clamping stud e reaches the bottom of the
cable groove. The tip of the quick clamping lever 4 should be
just above the bottom of the tool. Adjust the depth of the clamping
stud e by turning knob a until the lever is in the correct position. It
is important to note that the cable should be clamped securely
but not overtightened.
when switching from #14 to #12 cables. The quick clamping &
release feature of the RS-101A makes it twice as fast as the original.
RS - 101AC & RS - 101B
WITH EXCLUSIVE AUTO CLAMPING
Insert cable a into the channel and squeeze auto-clamping
lever b until the clamping stud d reaches the bottom of the
cable groove. Hold the tool near the cutting head & squeeze the
RS-101AC or RS-101B until the blade makes contact with the cable.
RS-101AC: For small diameter MC cable lever f must be in the
forward position and button g must be pushed in completely
(flush with outer channel) to properly position the cable.

STEP 3 - CUTTING MC CABLES

After the MC cable has been clamped, hold the tool near the cutting
head and squeeze the ROTO-SPLIT or ROTO-FLEX. Do not apply
too much pressure while pushing the "BLUE SAPPHIRE" circular
blade against the cable. Rotate the crank handle c smoothly and
change the amount of pressure to get the most efficient cutting action.
When the force required to turn the crank suddenly decreases,
you have cut all the way through.
the crank slightly, the top should snap back to the original position.
