Now the pump respectively cutting cycle can be
started. The cutting cycle is terminated
when the max. operating pressure is reached and the relief valve responded. The
pressure pick up can be monitored with the pressure gauge over the entire cutting cycle.
Attention
The cutting cycle must be fully completed that means until a possible 2- to
3-pole short circuit occurs.
6.
By actuating the release lever (Pos.-No. 6) the blades (Pos.-No. 12) will be returned into
the starting position. The cable is completely cut now.

The operator of the safety cutting unit has to make sure e.g. by asking the net provider,
whether the right cable was cut. This is of special importance with deleted nets.
Attention
Do not approach the cutting head before the net control office, respectively
net provider, gives the OK.
In case of cutting into a live cable with this safety cutting unit the cut can be continued
and completed with this unit. In most cases the unit stays functioning.
Attention
In this case the operator must always contact the net provider.
After cutting a live cable the unit must be checked in respect of possible damages. If the
blades (Pos.-No. 12) are damaged they can be exchanged by the operator.
8.
Remove the cutting head from the cutting location by using the appropriate carrying
points (Cylinder body, handles)
9.
After use the safety cutting unit must be cleaned carefully. The insulated hose must be
treated with special care. It must be cleaned with a dry clean cloth and the coupling
(Pos.-No. 3) must be checked in respect of possible damages. Afterwards the unit must
be stored away in the appropriate aluminium case.
