How to use

To use the Ergom NKC 70, open the handles fully and place the cable between the cutting blades at the desired cutting point.

Always ensure the cable is de-energized before beginning any cutting operation to maintain safety.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the maximum cable diameter capacity for your specific application
• Ensure the tool is intended for the material type you are working with
• Consider the frequency of use to determine if a manual tool meets your productivity requirements

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, when performing cable cutting tasks. Regularly clean the blades of debris and apply a light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion.
