INSPECT THE TOOL BEFORE USE
With the cutter isolated from the hydraulic supply, check the condition of the blade edge. If the
blade is damaged or blunt replace with a fresh blade before cutting. This procedure is as
described in section 8.
Ensure that care is taken when checking the blade as the edge may be sharp
Check the condition of the anvil. It is normal that the anvil will show an indent where the blade
has pressed down into it and can withstand multiple cuts, but any excessively damaged anvil
should be replaced. This procedure is as described in section 7
Ensure that all retaining bolts are tight
CAUTION – USE OF BLADES AND PARTS NOT APPROVED BY WEBTOOL MAY RESULT IN TOOL
FAILURE AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE
2.
CUTTING CAPACITY
The HCV155 is a double acting tool primarily intended for use on umbilical cable and hose and
will cut up to 155mm diameter. It may be used on alternative materials, such as electrical power
or communication cables, again up to a maximum of 155mm diameter. Where small diameters
are to be cut, every effort should be made to place the material centrally along the anvil to
minimize offset loading. The cutter is not designed to cut wire rope.
If it is required to extend the range of the cutter, for instance to cut solid bar members of steel,
please refer to the manufacturer (Allspeeds Ltd) with full details of size and tensile strength.
Failure to do so may result in damage to the anvil and blade.
3.
INSTALLATION
Ten tapped Holes, M16 through, are provided in the tool body (see sketch) which can be used
for any attachment necessary to mount the cutter. The cylinder is a pressure vessel and is not
recommended as a mounting point, the cylinder should not be drilled, machined, mutilated or
damaged in any way, any warranty could be invalidated by such actions.
