TROUBLESHOOTING CUTTER
1. Problem
: Small wire strands or pieces of cable or debris get
jammed between the cutter head and blade, not allowing the
blade to retract.
Solution
:
A)
Hold release lever down while tapping on the ram
with a block of wood and a hammer. If this does not
work or tool continues to hang up, proceed to step “B”.
B)
Remove blade screw and release the ram. Then disassemble
cutter head and remove burrs from both blade and head shear,
using a flat grinding stone on the rolled edge. Do not sharpen
like a knife - leave cutting edge flat! See illustration on page 8
2. Problem
: Blade is advanced under pressure with no load and
the release lever seems to be stuck.
Solution
:
A)
Use both hands to depress release trigger using body weight
and the ground or other strong surface for support.
