Cable Cutting Tools

The cutting tools feature an advancing speed setting automatically switching from a fast advancing speed of cable cutting blades to a slower cutting speed – tools are provided with a maximum pressure valve (MPC1 manometer is available upon request to check the proper setting of the valve).

Cutting Cables Carefully

Always read the instruction manual before using the tool
Keep hands clear of cutting blades at all times
Do not cut steel – for steel cutting applications contact us
Always wear safety glasses and gloves when operating this tool
Before starting cutting cables ensure that the latch is fully secured – partial closure may damage the cutting tool head
Clean the tool daily after use with a clean cloth to remove any residue including dust, sand or dirt
Do not attempt to turn the tool head if the hydraulic circuit is pressurised
