2.2) Setting
Select the appropriate die set. Two styles of die set are available:
Die Sets for cutting contact wire: the die profi le matches the profi le of the contact wire.
Die Sets for cutting conductor: the die profi le matches the profi le of the conductor.
2.3) Positioning
(Ref. to Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 4)
Insert the die set into the head (see § 2.6).
Position the conductor inside the die set so that the blade (4) lines up with the desired cutting
point.
Close the die set (see fi g. 2) by moving the locking handle (2) towards the tool body, until auto-
matically 'locked' in position and securely clamping the wire/conductor (see fi g. 3).
Press operating button (6) to activate the motor-pump group for the advancement of the blade
(4) to the conductor (see fi g. 4).
Before proceeding with the cutting operation, ensure that the locking pin (3) is fully inserted
into the head and the locking handle (2) is securely locked in position.
Check that the cutting edge of the blade coincides with the desired cutting point, otherwise
re-open dies following instructions as per § 2.8 and reposition the wire / conductor.
2.4) Cutting
Continue pressing operating button (6): the blade (4) progressively advances until the conduc-
tor is completely cut in a clean and precise manner, without deforming the conductor itself. To
halt the advancement, release operating button (6) and the motor will cut out.
The motor will continue to operate after the maximum pressure relief valve has activated.
Do not attempt to cut steel rods with this tool.
2.5) Release of dies
Press the pressure release button (7) for rapid retraction of the ram (14).
By releasing the locking handle (2) the dies open and release the wire/conductor.
2.6) Inserting the die set
Remove the locking pin (3) and insert the die set into the top of the tool and position the 'loca-
tor' (A) in the guide at the bottom of the head. Ensure that the recess (B) on the front of the die
set faces the blade (4).
Fully insert the locking pin (3) into the head.
The die set is polarised and can only be installed one way to ensure the correct insertion of
the locking pin (3).
To remove the die set from the head: open the locking lever (2), completely remove the locking
pin (3) and slide the die set out of the tool.
2.7) LED Worklights
Whilst the tool is in operation, the work area is illuminated by two high luminosity LED Worklights
that switch off automatically at the end of the cycle.
