READ INSTRUCTIONS
• Thoroughly read and understand this manual before using.
• Save for future reference.
CUT AND CRUSH HAZARD!
• This tool has EXTREMELY SHARP cutting blades with amplified leverage on the upper blade which can quickly cause severe injury
or loss of fingers! Keep fingers and hands away from moving parts when operating.
• Always place the handle in the DOWN position with the Locking Pin inserted through both the Upper Blade Housing and the Body
in the CLOSED position
(FIG 1)
when not in use. The weight of the handle, left in the up position, can cause the upper blade to
suddenly and unexpectedly drop with great force resulting in severe injury or loss of fingers.
CUT HAZARD!
• Handling sharp metal can cause serious cuts. Wear thick, well-fitting work gloves to prevent cuts from handling sharp metal.
EYE INJURY HAZARD!
• Metal particles can be ejected from the material when cutting. Sheet metal edges and corners are sharp and can injure eyes.
