Cutting capacity depends on a variety of factors including material
thickness, type, hardness and configuration. Cuts may not be able to
be completed based on these and other variables.
Only cut material that the inserts are rated for. Any other
NOTICE
material, such as steel, can dull and damage the blades.
Inspection/Maintenance
Inspect the Scissor Cutter Head before each use for issues that could
affect safe use.
1. With the battery removed from the tool, depress the QCS sleeve
and remove the head.
2. Clean the head and remove all dirt, oil, grease, and debris to aid
in inspection and improve control. Pay close attention to the QCS
coupling to ensure there is no debris to damage the coupling.
3. Inspect the head for:
• Proper assembly and completeness. Make sure guards are
present and secure.
• Wear, corrosion or other damage. Dimples in the grooves of the
QCS are normal with use and are not considered damage.
• Any insert damage, and confirm secureness of inserts.
• Presence and readability of head markings.
If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected.
4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as
®
directed in their instructions.
5. The QCS coupling is lubricated for life at the factory and does not
require any further lubrication. Lubricate the pivot points of the
Scissor Cutter Head with a light weight general purpose lubricat-
ing oil. Wipe off any excess oil.
6. Changing cutting inserts
– Remove insert screws with 2,5 mm hex wrench.
– Remove inserts and make sure insert pockets are free of dam-
age and debris.
– Securely install a new, matched set of cutting inserts.
– Manually move blades past each other to confirm proper func-
tion.
Set Up/Operation
1. Determine the size and type of material to be cut. Select the ap-
propriate equipment per its specifications if needed, change cut-
ting inserts. Do not cut steel wire. Mark the cut location on the
wire.
2. Make sure all equipment is inspected and set up per its instruc-
tions.
3. Remove the battery from the tool. Depress the QCS sleeve on
the electric tool and insert the Scissor Cutter Head. Release the
sleeve to retain the head. Confirm that the head is fully inserted
and locked into tool before turning ON. (If head will not lock into
QCS, ensure tool ram is fully retracted by pressing the pressure
release button.) With dry hands install the tool battery.
4. Place the wire between the cutting edges of the Scissor Cutter
Head, and squarely line up the cutting edge with the cut location.
Do not try to cut the wire at an angle.
5. With hands clear of the head and other moving parts, operate the
Electrical Tool as per its instructions. Continue to press the run
switch until the tool ram automatically retracts and the wire is cut.
If the ram does not fully retract, press the electrical tool pressure
release button.
6. Inspect the cut. Be careful of any sharp edges.
