Blade Replacement, Parts and Accessories

Blade Replacement 

(See exploded view above)

Your Drill-Powered Cable Cutter unit is designed for easy blade

replacement. If blade damage occurs that cannot be filed away, or if

blades are accidentally used on steel or ACSR, replace both blades 

as described below: 

1. Disconnect drill from power source or battery, then detach unit from

drill. Do not attempt blade replacement with drill attached.

2. Remove four hex screws from end cap that sits on top of the fixed

blade using a 5/32” hex wrench (Figure 8).

3. Remove end cap from unit (Figure 9).

4. Remove 6 hex screws attaching blade to body, using a

hex

wrench (Figure 10).

5. Remove blade assembly.

6. Replace with a new blade set, IDEAL part #K-8906R.

7. Reinstall using screws removed earlier.

Always replace blades in sets for optimal performance. Replacing only

one side will increase wear and shorten overall blade life.

Handle Replacement

The comfort handle can be unscrewed and replaced if necessary. 

Order IDEAL replacement handle part #K-8947R.  Replacement torque

arm assemblies can also be ordered. IDEAL part #K-8909 includes

torque arm, locking collar and roll pin.

Warranty

One year limited warranty. Warranty limited solely to repair or replacement;

no warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or

consequential damages. 90 day warranty on blades.
