Using the Greenlee 718F cable cutter is straightforward. First, identify the type of cable you're cutting - copper, aluminum, or a communications cable. Make sure the cable size is within the cutter's capacity. For copper cables, don't exceed 350 kcmil (MCM) for maximum use and stick to 4/0 AWG for frequent cuts. With aluminum, frequent use is fine up to 350 kcmil (MCM). When cutting a communications cable, keep the diameter under 1 inch. Place the cable between the blades and use the strong fiberglass handles to apply pressure. The adjustable pivot bolt ensures the blades stay sharp and aligned.
As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the cutter clean to remove any debris. Occasionally, check the pivot bolt and adjust it if the cutting action seems off. Store the cutter in a dry place to prevent rusting. And always handle it with care, as it's a precision tool. If you notice any significant wear on the blades, it might be time for a replacement.
