Setup

The Arm Bolt Cutter Mini HA-250(B) is ready for use directly out of the packaging. No assembly is required.

1. Unpack the tool: Carefully remove the bolt cutter from its packaging.
2. Inspect for damage: Before first use, visually inspect the tool for any shipping damage or manufacturing defects. Ensure the cutting jaws align properly and the handles operate smoothly.
3. Clean if necessary: Wipe off any protective oils or debris with a clean, dry cloth.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:

1. Identify the material: Ensure the material to be cut is within the tool's capacity (maximum 0.2 inches / 4 mm diameter for mild steel wire) and is not hardened steel, which can damage the jaws.
2. Position the material: Open the bolt cutter jaws and place the material as deep as possible into the jaws, close to the pivot point. This provides maximum leverage and cutting force.
3. Apply pressure: Grip the handles firmly with both hands. Apply steady, even pressure to close the handles, cutting through the material. Avoid sudden jerking motions.
4. Release and inspect: Once the cut is complete, release the handles and remove the severed material. Inspect the cut edges for sharpness and cleanliness.

Important: Never attempt to cut live electrical wires. Always assume wires are live until proven otherwise. Use insulated tools for electrical work.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your bolt cutter:

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove dirt, dust, and debris.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and cutting jaws to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Storage: Store the bolt cutter in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep the jaws closed when not in use to protect the cutting edges.
• Inspection: Regularly check the cutting edges for nicks, dullness, or damage. While the jaws are designed for durability, excessive force or cutting inappropriate materials can cause damage.
