No, these cutters are designed specifically for copper and aluminum. Using them on steel will damage or break the blades.
The HS520A is rated for copper and aluminum cables up to 400 mm².
You can use the built-in quick-release lever to retract the blade at any point during the cutting stroke.
Yes, periodic lubrication of the ratchet teeth with machine oil will keep the action smooth and prevent rust.
The blades are high-durability, but they are generally not user-replaceable; proper care is essential to maintain their sharpness.
No, the HS520A is not insulated and should not be used on live electrical circuits.
Clean debris from the teeth and apply a small amount of machine oil to the moving parts.
Check that the cable is positioned correctly at the base of the jaws and ensure you are not exceeding the 400 mm² limit.
Use the quick-release lever located on the handle to disengage the ratchet gear.
To operate the HS520A, open the handles to retract the blade, place the cable between the jaws, and pump the handles until the cut is complete. This tool is compatible with soft copper and aluminum multi-strand cables; do not attempt to cut steel-reinforced conductors or piano wire as this will permanently damage the blade teeth. After use, wipe the jaws clean of metal shavings and debris. Periodically apply a light machine oil to the ratcheting gear mechanism to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Store the tool in a dry, cool place, preferably in a protective pouch to keep the blades sharp and clear of grit.
