In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the pressing operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
pressing operations to heat up the pressing tool.
1. Rotate the cutting head to the desired working position.

the cable to be cut.
Always make sure that the cable to be cut is fully inserted into the cutting head.
Do not exceed the maximum cutting capacity.
Do not attempt to cut a cable that cannot be inserted fully into the cutting head.
