Using the Greenlee 704 cable cutter is quite simple. First, make sure the cable you want to cut fits within the cutter's capacity. Then, place the cable in the cutting area and squeeze the handles firmly to cut through the cable. When using it, always wear safety gloves and goggles to protect yourself. Also, avoid using it on cables that exceed its maximum capacity as this can damage the cutter and be dangerous. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the blades clean to remove any debris. You can use a light oil to lubricate the moving parts to keep them working smoothly. Check the blades regularly for wear and replace them when they become dull. This will ensure the cutter remains in good condition and performs well for a long time.
