WARNING
Risk of injury due to oil escaping under high pressure! Oil escaping under high pressure can injure the
skin and the eyes.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if damage is visible.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if oil escapes.
▶ Make sure that the piston retracts after every crimping operation.

retraction.
In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the cutting operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
cutting operations to heat up the cutting tool.
1. Turn the cutting head to the desired position.
2. Place the material to be cut in the open cutting head or hold the cutting tool with open cutting jaws
against the material to be cut.
Always make sure that the material to be cut is fully inserted into the cutting head.
Do not exceed the maximum cutting capacity.
Do not attempt to cut material that cannot be inserted fully into the cutting head.
3. Press and hold down the control switch until the piston retracts.
