Cutting Tips
• Before use, ensure the cutting dies are aligned for
the proper rod size.
• To ensure proper die life, threaded rod must be fully
engaged properly with dies during the cut. For accu-
rate work, always secure the workpiece before cutting.
• Do not attempt angled cuts. It will damage the cutting
dies and workpiece. Hold the material firmly and se-
curely against fixed cutting die when starting the cut.
• Cut clean material to extend the cutting die blade
life. Wipe dirt and debris from material and cutting
dies before beginning the cut.
• Only use the cutting dies on material and size for
which they were designed. Other materials/sizes
could damage the cutting dies and tool. The LED
worklight will flash 4 times and the tool will stop if
an incorrect workpiece is detected during the cut.
• To run in reverse, press the reverse button; the
button light will turn on. Press and hold trigger to
reverse. NOTE: the tool will only enter reverse mode
if the jaws are NOT fully open.
1. Ensure the cutting dies are aligned for the proper
rod size.
2. Ensure the hex bolts are tightened securely.
3. Secure the workpiece and mark the length of cut.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to make angled cuts. It
will damage the tool, cutting dies, and workpiece.
4. Insert the battery pack.
5. Align the threaded rod, resting it in the cutting
groove in the fixed cutting die.
