Position the cable within the cutting area, apply steady pressure and operate the tool according to recommended procedures for the host tool. After cutting, inspect the result for a clean end and remove any burrs if necessary. Regularly check mounting hardware and blade condition to maintain safe operation.

Recommendations

Use the cutter head only with compatible Knipex tool models and within the intended cable types and diameter ranges. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Do not exceed the specified capacity of the host tool and avoid cutting frozen or live conductors. Maintain blades by cleaning and lightly lubricating pivot points as advised by the tool manufacturer.
