2.1) Setting
The head is equipped with a "self-lock" quick male coupler suitable for connection to a hydraulic,
pneumatic or electrical pump from the CEMBRE range.
Before use, check that the lower disc (36) is fully secured by the circlip (37); see Fig. 2.
2.2) Blade positioning
Position the cutting head on the cable to be cut.
Operate the pump to close the blades.
Make sure the blades are exactly positioned on the desired cutting point; otherwise re-open the
blade, as § 2.4 and re-position the cutting head.
2.3) Cutting
Operate the pump to close the blades and progressively cut the cable.
This head has been specifically designed for cutting copper or aluminium cable, do not attempt
to cut steel ropes or steel reinforced cables.
2.4) Blade opening
To open the blades, fully discharge the oil pressure from the pump.
