Using this cutter assembly is quite straightforward. First, make sure the material you're cutting is within the capacity of up to 636,000 KCMIL with a steel core diameter under 0.320 inches. Then, place the material between the blades. The two - speed mechanism will start working automatically, quickly closing the blades and then shifting to the normal cutting speed. When the cut is done, the blades will open on their own thanks to the patented design. As for maintenance, keep the fiberglass handles clean and dry. Check the ratchet mechanism regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you need to replace the blades, use the 11397 Movable and Fixed Blade Set. Always store it in a dry place, and it will fit easily into your truck bin due to its short length.
