The positioning knob faces forward. Snug the tool up with the tightening knob. Do not over tighten the tool on the cable. Rock the tool to feel the tension on the cable. Rotate counter clockwise to make a full ring cut.	3. Spiral and Longitudinal Cut Index the tool to one of the spiral or the longitudinal position, as desired. Rotate or pull the tool down the cable to score it.	4. Remove the jacketing	5. Follow the same procedure with the US15 PRO MAX to remove the insulation from the conductor
