2-3 Detection Mechanism

A detection takes place when a signal run triggered by adifference of potential between the electric field of the live-wirecable and a human body runs through the product.

Lits/flashes when the power is ON, the battery life islow, or the tool approached to the live-wire cable.

DANGER

This product and a manual cutter with the product attached is not
11:18:38
2018/09/0
a voltage detector. Use a voltage detector or multimeter for voltage
detection. May cause a fire 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. Theproduct 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 circuitwith a different frequency, for example, secondary
voltage of an inverter, cannot be detected.
• A live-wire may not be detected depending thesurrounding environment, and how the product isattached or gripped.
• When a human body is touching the metallic tip of thecutter or the sheath of the cutter’s handle is thin, inprinciple, it is difficult for a signal to run through theproduct, which potentially disables the detection of alive-wire.
• A detection sensitivity decreases when a target livewire cable is touching a human body.
• A live-wire cannot be detected on a shielded cablebecause the product cannot detect an electric field.
• An electric field of an adjacent live-wire cable may bedetected.

4-3 Checking ON/OFF of the Power

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 thata working hand touches an electrode part.
2) Secure the product tightly with a provided rubber ring ina correct orientation as shown in the figure below (LEDfacing toward the wrist).

* Two different sizes of rubber rings (S/M) are provided. Select a ringwhich 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.
(1)Turn ON-OFF the power to check if the buzzer and LED areworking 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 thepower indicator is red.
A buzz is heard nine times and the LED starts flashing.

4-4 Checking for a normal detection

Check that the product works normally with the tip of themanual 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 thatplace as the cutter or surrounding environment may have impacted
the product.

* 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 thepower indicator is black.

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, thesensitivity is set to the maximum.
After the adjustment, place the cover back into position.
