Cutting Profile Selection
Remote Cable Cutter with End-Position Blade and
Wireless Remote is designed to allow cutting in two
profiles, handheld and remote. Remote operation allows
the operator to be physically separated from the cutting
tool when making a cut. This is useful when the line
being cut is believed to be de-energized but cannot be
fully confirmed. Always handle the line as though it is
energized, even if it has been de-energized.
