1.
Before cutting, make sure the material being cut is within the proper cutting capacity of the tool being
used.
2.
Before connecting the tool head, make sure the pump and hose being used is working properly, and
adjusted to and rated at 10,000 psi. The use of a pump or hose that is not rated for 10,000 psi working
pressure may cause severe tool damage and result in personal injury.
3.
Connect the tool head to the pump or hose, making sure all coupler connections are secure. It is
important that all connections are tight for tool to function properly.
4.
Open cutter head by lifting latch or removing lock pin. Depending on the model being used.
5.
Insert material between cutter head and blade and secure latch. It is important that you check the latch
for proper engagement before continuing with the cut.
Failure to secure the latch can result in severe
tool damage and personal injury.
6.
Align the material at a 90 degree angle to the blade. This will ensure a proper cut with minimal
distortion. If the material is cut at any other angle, severe blade damage may occur. Refer to diagram
on page two for proper alignment.
7.
Proceed by operating pump to advance blade. If the pump has a hold feature, it is important to check
for proper alignment of material and blade before cutting. Continue to operate pump and cut material.
8.
Once the cut is made stop the pump and release pressure to retract the blade. It is not necessary to
advance the tool any further after the cut has been completed. If the tool blade hangs up, be sure to
check if coupler connections are tight, release mechanism on pump is functioning properly, or refer to
page three “troubleshooting” to release blade.
9.
Always wear eye protection and any other specified safety equipment when cutting. Be sure
surrounding area is clear, as hardened metals may fly apart when severed.
10.
For EHS guy wire or bridge strand, use models SP-24CC, S-24CC or S-32CC only!
The use of
any other SP-series cutter will result in severe blade damage and may cause personal injury.
11.
Models SP-85 and SP-100 are designed for use on non-ferrous metals only! Do not cut steel or severe
tool damage and personal injury may occur.
