To
replace the battery, remove it by pressing the release button (10) (Ref. to Fig. 1), then insert
the new battery, sliding it into the guides until it locks.
2.1) Head rotation
For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate, allowing the operator to work in the most comfort-
able position (Ref. to Fig. 3).
Do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
2.2) Setting
Insert the conductor between the blades, up to the desired cutting point (Ref. to Fig. 3).
To cut short pieces of ACSR ropes, it is suggested to tie or wrap rope with adhesive or
duct tape around the area to be cut and at its end, so to limit the projection of steel
fragments which could damage or hurt the operator.
For a running conductor, release the latch (4) and open the tool head (Ref. to Fig. 3a).
Fully retract the lower blade (3) before attempting to open the tool head (Ref. to § 2.6).
With the conductor on the lower blade (3), close the tool head and fully secure the latch (4).
Before commencing the cutting operation ensure that the latch (4) is fully secured: partial
closure may damage the tool head.
2.3) Blade advancement
Operate the push-button (5) (Ref. to Fig. 3) to activate the motor-pump, the ram will gradually
move forward until the lower blade (3) touches the conductor.
To halt the advancement, release the push-button (06) and the motor will cut out.
2.4) Cutting
Firmly hold the tool and operate the push-button (5) to gradually move the lower blade (4) to
cut through the conductor.
When the cut is performed, release the push-button (5), otherwise after the maximum pressu-
re relief valve has activated the motor will stop automatically.
2.5) LED Worklights
Whilst the tool is in operation, the work area is illuminated by two high luminosity LED Worklights
that switch o automatically at the end of the cycle.
