TM 9-243
CARE OF BOLT AND CABLE CUTTERS
1.
Replace worn cutters when necessary.
2.
Keep moving parts well oiled.
3.
Keep the adjusting screws just tight enough to
ensure that the cutting edges meet along their entire
length when the jaws are closed.
4.
Keep cutter jaws at right angles to the piece being
cut. Do not twist or pry with the tool while cutting.
5.
Do not sharpen edges too sharp. Leave edge
approximately 1/64-inch wide for longer jaw life.
6.
Before storing, wipe dirt and grease from the cutter
and coat the metal parts lightly with oil to prevent
rust.
7.
Store the cutter in a special compartment of the tool
box or on a shelf where it cannot fall.
