2.1) Setting
(Ref. to Fig. 3)
The head is equipped with an automatic quick male coupler suitable for connection to a hydraulic,
pneumatic or electric pump from the Cembre range.
Insert the conductor between the blades, at the desired cutting point. For a running conductor,
remove the locking pin (25) and open the head.
Fully retract the lower blade (11) before attempting to open the tool head.
With the conductor on the lower blade (11), close the head and fully insert the locking pin (25).
Before commencing the cutting operation ensure that the locking pin (25) is fully secured: partial
closure may damage the head.
