How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades near the desired cut point, then squeeze the handles firmly and steadily to produce a clean cut. For thicker cables, use controlled, progressive pressure to avoid crushing the conductor insulation. After cutting, inspect the cut face for burrs and, if necessary, trim any remaining insulation or stray strands with an appropriate tool. Store the cutter in a dry place and ensure blades remain free of dirt and corrosion to maintain cutting quality.

Recommendations

Use the tool only on cable sizes appropriate for its compact cutting jaws; avoid cutting hardened wire or materials not intended for cable cutters. Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot to preserve smooth operation and check blades for wear; replace the tool if cutting performance degrades.
