Training & Qualifications
Only workers trained and qualified in high voltage
applications should use this tool, especially in a live
line environment. Ensure at least a second trained and
qualified person is present at appropriate distance.
Follow all training and proper live electricity jobsite
safety precautions, including OSHA standard for electric
power generation and NEC 70E: Standard for Electrical
Safety in the Workplace.
Before operating this tool, read and understand all
instructions and warnings associated with this tool and
any other equipment used with this tool.

Pre-Operation Inspection

• Before use, inspect your electrical tool and
correct any problems to reduce the risk of
serious injury from electric shock, crushing
injures, equipment failure and other causes, and
to prevent tool damage.
• If during inspection damage to tool is observed
or suspected or if hydraulic oil has leaked from
the tool, do not use the tool. Tool safety could be
compromised. Return tool immediately to Greenlee
Factory Service Center for service or replacement.
• Remove battery from tool.
• Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool body
and head, including handles and controls. A clean
tool aids inspection and helps prevent the tool from
slipping from your grip.
• Always inspect the tool and remote before each
use for issues:
• Look for wear or damage, such as cracks, gouges,
or chips to housing.
• Look for leaking hydraulic oil.
• Inspect the rotation of the head assembly. Fully
retract the ram. The head should be free to rotate
350°.
• Check the blades for any chips or significant wear.
Replace blades that are dull or chipped before
operating for a clean cut.
• Be sure the tool is clean, dry and free of
contaminants.
If any issues are found, do not use the tool until
corrected.

Work Area & Tool Set-Up
• Set up the tool and work area according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury
from electric shock, arc flash and reduce the
risk of tool damage.
1. Always wear appropriate PPE to reduce the risk of
injury.
2. Confirm work area safety (Inspect the jobsite
in accordance with OSHA and Employer work
specification requirements and see General Power
Tool Safety Warnings). Operate in a clear, level,
stable and dry location.
3. Confirm the circuit is de-energized. To the extent a
live circuit can be de-energized, always de-energize
the circuit before beginning work. Follow all
workplace procedures for control of hazardous
energy to prevent unintended energization while
working. Always handle the line as though it is
energized, even if it has been de-energized. Cutting
live cables can result in arc flash or electrocution and
death.
4. Inspect cable to confirm that the cable can be cut
by this tool, cutting the wrong type of cable can
damage the tool or cause personal injury. (See, tool
Specifications).
5. Make sure the work site is easily recognizable to
outside observers to prevent people from coming
into the area while the tool is being used. Barriers or
cones around work site are some of the ways to do
this.
6. Make sure all equipment has been properly
inspected.
7. If working remotely, identify an appropriate area for
operation within wireless range of the remote and
outside of the NFPA ARC Flash distance to prevent
injury from possible arc flash or whipping cables.
The Bluetooth signal can pass through most wall
materials if the operator is located behind a barrier
or around a corner while operating tool.
