- Circular Cut. Position the Alroc PG HTA cable cutting pliers at the end of the longitudinal cut. Close the pliers onto the cables pressing slightly to ensure penetration of the cutting wheels – rotate the pliers back and forth by a third of revolution.
- Sheath Removal. Use the two end blades to separate the cable sheath as show opposite.
