MAINTENANCE
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained. Contact Klein Tools for authorized service centers. Visit
www.kleintools.com
for
service manual and replacement part list.
• The charger and battery pack are
NOT
serviceable. To assure product
SAFETY
and
RELIABILITY
, repairs, maintenance and
adjustments should be performed by a DeWALT factory service center, a DeWALT authorized service center or other qualified
service personnel.
CLEANING
Tool:
• Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
• Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may weaken the
plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with water and mild soap. Never immerse any part of the tool
into a liquid.
Charger:
WARNING
:
SHOCK HAZARD
. Disconnect the charger from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed
from the exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush.
DO NOT
use water or any cleaning solutions.
STORAGE
The best storage place is one that is cool and dry, away from direct sunlight and excess heat or cold. For prolonged storage, it
is recommended to store a fully charged battery pack in a cool, dry place out of the charger for optimal results.
NOTE:
Battery
packs should not be stored completely depleted of charge. The battery pack will need to be recharged before use.
• Inspect the tool before and after every use.
DO NOT
use this tool if it is damaged in any way.
Inform Klein Tools
®
authorized distributors or contact Klein Tools in case of any abnormalities or
malfunctions of the product.
• Check for loose parts before using. Personal injury can be caused by operating poorly maintained
tools.
• To avoid injury, keep hands away from the tool head and workpiece during operation.
• Remove battery pack while servicing, replacing dies, or storing the tool.
FORWARD/REVERSE/LOCK TRIGGER BUTTON 2
(FIG. 1):
There are three settings on this button:
Forward (to cut through cables), Reverse (to back the blade out), and Locked position (prevents tool
from operating in either direction).
NOTE:
For safety purposes, keep the tool in the locked position when preparing cable and when moving
or storing.
NOTE:
To prevent damage to the battery, the cable cutter may stop mid-cut if battery voltage drops
below a safe level.
NOTE:
The cable cutter may stop if internal temperatures become too high. The system will reset in 5
seconds to allow tool to open. Once removed from cable, allow 30 minutes for internal components to
cool before resuming cutting.
CUTTING CABLE (FIG. 2):
1. With the button in forward position, Place the cable to be cut between the blades
9
and press the
trigger
1
to advance the cutting blade.
2. Hold the trigger until the cable is cut completely.
3. If required, switch the Forward/Reverse/Lock Button
to the Reverse position to retract the cutting
blade. For closed-jaw models, after completing the cut you can reverse the blade to retract it to its
original position, or continue to advance the blade until it disengages from the internal gears. When
this happens, move the Forward/Reverse/Lock Trigger Button to the locked position and manually
rotate cutting blade around to re-engage the blade into the tool.
DO NOT
force or push
the blade into the gear mechanism.
BLADE GUIDES
(Open-Jaw models only)
10 :
The blade guide is designed to help align internal
drive gears with cutting blades. As a result, the blade guide can make noise while engaging. This is
normal and will not harm the tool. Over time, the blade guides may not engage as easily and may need
replacing. Please contact Klein Tools for an authorized repair center.
LIFT RING 7 (FIG. 3):
The lift ring is intended for moving the tool into hard-to-reach areas. Securely
fasten lifting device to the ring before moving the tool. Follow all worksite rules.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
DO NOT
use the
lift ring for tethering or securing the tool to a person or object during use when elevated.
