2. DESCRIPTION
The tool consists of a handle with finger grips, a lock,
and two jaws with a replaceable blade and a
replaceable anvil. The anvil features an edge guide to
properly position the cable in the tool. The lock, in the
closed position, keeps the tool jaws closed when the
tool is NOT in use. See Figure 1.
3. USING THE TOOL
1. Rotate the lock to the opened position until the
tool jaws open fully.
2. Position the cable on the anvil with one edge of
the cable against the edge guide. See Figure 2.
3. Holding the cable in place, slide the cable
under the blade. Make sure that the end of the
cable is at least 1.59 mm [.062 in.] beyond the
blade. See Figure 2.
4. Hold the cable firmly on the anvil, and close
the tool handles until the cable is cut.
