Installation Notes

This tool is used by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians for cutting and trimming conductors. Always de-energize circuits and verify absence of voltage with a meter before cutting any wire. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and do not use the tool on conductors or materials that exceed its rated capacity.
