fall. It may damage the product.
[2] APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES
2-1 Applications
This product, when attached to the handle of the manual
cable cutter, reacts and warns the user with light and sound
about an erroneous cut when the sheathed cable of the
commercial power (frequency: 50 Hz/60 Hz) is a live wire.
2-2 Features
•Attachable to your manual cable cutter
•Warns the live-wire status of a cable with a buzz and LED
•Detectable with gloves on
•Approx. 5 months of battery life in standby mode
•With a sensitivity control volume
2-3 Detection Mechanism
A detection takes place when a signal run triggered by a
difference of potential between the electric field of the live-wire
cable and a human body runs through the product.

When the battery is exhausted
If the power is turned ON with the low voltage of internal
batteries, you are warned with a buzz and LED as shown
below. Replace both of the batteries.
A buzz and LED illumination (for approx. 4 seconds) LED

* The battery status cannot be detected when the power remains ON.
Do not forget to cycle the power of the product before use and make
sure that the buzzer and LED does not show the status as above.

[4] HOW TO USE
DANGER
This product and a manual cutter with the product attached is not
a voltage detector. Use a voltage detector or multimeter for voltage
detection. May cause a re or an electric shock.
Ensure that you wear a “protective equipment” before use. May
cause an electric shock.
NOTICE
• This product is intended for a general 7”/8” manual cable cutter. The
product may not be available for some cutters.
Situations where correct detection is not possible
•A live-wire may not be detected if the size of sensitivity
volume is too low.
“4-5 Adjusting the Sensitivity Volume”
•The product is exclusively for a commercial power’s
alternate voltage (frequency: 50 Hz/60 Hz), A circuit
with a different frequency, for example, secondary
voltage of an inverter, cannot be detected.
•A live-wire may not be detected depending the
surrounding environment, and how the product is
attached or gripped.
•When a human body is touching the metallic tip of the
cutter or the sheath of the cutter’s handle is thin, in
principle, it is difficult for a signal to run through the
product, which potentially disables the detection of a
live-wire.
•A detection sensitivity decreases when a target live-
wire cable is touching a human body.
•A live-wire cannot be detected on a shielded cable
because the product cannot detect an electric field.
•An electric field of an adjacent live-wire cable may be
detected.

Follow the procedure below to use the product.
4-1 Check the Main Body
•Visual appearance check: Does the main body have flaws
on its appearance due to a fall or others?
•Battery life check: Is a buzz heard for approx. 4 seconds,
and the LED flashes slowly after illuminated?
“4-3 Checking ON/OFF of the Power”
•Are the main body, rubber ring, or hands wet with water?
4-2 Attaching to the Cutting Tool
1) Place the product inside the cable cutter’s handle so that
a working hand touches an electrode part.
2) Secure the product tightly with a provided rubber ring in
a correct orientation as shown in the figure below (LED
facing toward the wrist).
* Two different sizes of rubber rings (S/M) are provided. Select a ring
which suits the thickness of the cutter’s handle.
* If the product is not secured tight and apparently moving apart or
coming off from the handle, the sensitivity becomes unstable.

4-3 Checking ON/OFF of the Power
Turn ON-OFF the power to check if the buzzer and LED are
working correctly.
* Refrain from using the product when a failure has been found.
1) Turn the power ON
Press the power slide switch (ON) and identify that the
power indicator is red.
A buzz is heard nine times and the LED starts flashing.
* When the power is turned ON, and a buzz is heard for approx. 4
seconds and the LED flashes slowly, it indicates that the batteries
needs to be replaced.

2) Turn the power OFF
Press the power slide switch (OFF) and identify that the
power indicator is black.

4-4 Checking for a normal detection
Check that the product works normally with the tip of the
manual cutter 1 to 2 cm away from the known live-wire cable
after the product is powered ON.
* Grip the cutter so that your hand touches the electrode part inside
the product.
* If the product does not work properly, do not use the product at that
place as the cutter or surrounding environment may have impacted
the product.

4-5 Adjusting the Sensitivity Volume
If the detection sensitivity needs to be adjusted, remove
the sensitivity control volume cover, and rotate the knob
with a Phillips-head screw driver. As the factory default, the
sensitivity is set to the maximum.
After the adjustment, place the cover back into position.
* Rotating to the left (“−”) decreases the sensitivity (insensitive), and
rotating to the right (“+”) increases the sensitivity (sensitive).

4-6 Using the Tool for Work
Approach the cable cutter with the product attached to the
live-wire cable.
* If you hear a buzz and the LED flashes, stop cutting the cable. Use a
voltage detector or multimeter to check if it is a live-wire or not, then
resume the work.
* Turn OFF the product after use.
[5] MAINTENANCE

fall.
• Do not store the product under a direct sunlight, high temperature, low
temperature, humid, or dew-condensed environment.
• Be sure to remove the batteries if the product will not be used for a
long time.
• Comply with local regulations when disposing or treating the product
and coin batteries.
5-2 Replacing the Batteries
