The power supply uses a nominal 120 volt circuit. The power supply
manages and conditions the power input to the charger. The power
supply does not use a resettable or replaceable fuse. If a power
surge occurs the power supply temporarily interrupts the current
supply until the condition is corrected. If the power light on the pow-
er supply fails to light, an extreme surge may have occurred and
the power supply may trigger an internal fuse that must be serviced
by the manufacturer. Return the power supply for repair or replace-
ment immediately.
POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
Never alter an AC cord or its plug. If it does not t into your
outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electri-
cian. An improper connection can cause an electric shock.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the charger must be
grounded.
Before using an adapter, ensure that the outlet box is
grounded. If you are not sure the box is grounded, have
it checked and repaired, if necessary, by a qualied elec-
trician.

The following steps are guidelines for safe operation of the cutters.
Please take the time to review them as these are helpful hints that
have been accumulated over the years.
1. After inserting a battery pack, check if it is securely in place by
pushing it gently, and a “click” will be heard. To remove battery,
press the latch and pull out the battery pack.
2. Open the xed cut head, insert cable, then close the xed cut
head and press the trigger.
3. Once the cut is done, press the release button to retract the
blade.
4. Stay within the maximum cutting limits of each tool as listed.
5. Try to keep the cutter head clean. When cleaning, use a spray
lubricant to avoid a build up of dirt and sand which damage the
cutter head.
6. Stop cutting when the blade reaches the extreme end of its
advance. If the material being cut (usually wire rope or soft
cables) seems to be cut but does not break free of the tool, this
indicates that the blade is jammed on a small piece of cable.
Refer to “troubleshooting” to free the blade (Page 11).
7. All tools require proper care. Occasional cleaning and
degreasing in solvent, and sharpening blade and cutter head,
will keep these tools operating without problems
8. The most common problem encountered is blade breakage.
Most breakage occurs because the cutter head is not

6
securely latched before cutting. If the latch is not secured,
the blade will push open the cutter head and damage both the
body head and blade. This causes the outside ear to the blade
to break on an angle. In some cases, the whole cutter head
may crack in half. Cutting material that is not specied may
also cause blade damage. In time, these blades will fatigue and
crack and must be replaced.
9. There may be a residue of oil present on new tools when they
are removed from the original shipping container. This is to
protect the tool from corrosion during shipment and storage, and
should not be considered defective. The tool can be cleaned
with a spray degreaser or soapy water.
10. If tool is jammed, avoid beating directly on the tool with a
hammer, especially avoid attening the piston cylinder. Use a
hammer in conjunction with a block of wood or soft material to
free the blade. See troubleshooting on pages 10 and 11.
11. All tools can be reconditioned and overhauled. Call Huskie
and obtain an RGA# for returning tools (see page 15 for more
information.)
12. Always return tools to their carrying case to protect them from
sand and dirt.
13. Always carry a spare blade (Part No. 24-08), preferably attached
to the carrying case.
14. When cutting, keep area clear of spectators as hardened metals
may y apart when severed.

GENERAL INFORMATION GUIDE
15. Always cut the material at a 90° angle to the blade. Any other
angle may cause the blade and head shear to fracture. See
illustration below.
16. Head rotates 180° for proper cut angle.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before cutting, make sure the material being cut is within
the proper cutting capacity of the tool being used.
2. Open cutter head by lifting latch.
3. Insert material between cutter head and blade and secure
latch. It is important that you check the latch for proper en-
gagement before continuing with the cut. Failure to secure
the latch can result in severe tool damage and personal
injury.
4. Align the material 90 degree angle to the blade. This will
ensure a proper cut with minimal distortion. If the material
is cut at any other angle, severe blade damage may occur.
Refer to diagram on page 7 for proper alignment.
5. Once the cut is made, the release lever under trigger can be
depressed to retract the blade.
6. These cutters do not have a by-pass cartridge like our com-
pression tools, so they should be released once the cut is
made and not continued to be advanced. If the tool is ad-
vanced under pressure with no load, it is dicult to release
the blade. Refer to the troubleshooting on page 10 if this
condition occurs.
7. Always wear eye protection and any other specied safety
equipment when cutting. Be sure surrounding area is clear,
as hardened metals may y apart when severed.
8. Do not use to cut Bridge Strand. Contact Loos Naples
for these cutters.

1. Problem: Small wire strands or pieces of cable or debris get
jammed between the cutter head and blade, not allowing the
blade to retract.
Solution:
A)
Hold release lever down while tapping on the ram
with a block of wood and a hammer. If this does not
work or tool continues to hang up, proceed to step “B”.
B)
Remove blade screw and release the ram. Then disassemble
cutter head and remove burrs from both blade and head shear,
using a at grinding stone on the rolled edge. Do not sharpen
like a knife - leave cutting edge at! See illustration on page 9.
2. Problem: Blade is advanced under pressure with no load and
the release lever seems to be stuck.
Solution:
A) Use both hands to depress release trigger using body weight
and the ground or other strong surface for support.
