WARNING!!

STEP 4 - REMOVING THE ARMORED CASING

With our "BLUE SAPPHIRE" blade 2 to 5 brisk turns of the handle
should be sufficient to split the BX casing. Hold the cable on each
side of the cut and twist the armored casing counter-clockwise until
it separates. If this last step fails, you have not cut all the way
through the armor. Repeat the steps above.

STEP 5 - DEPTH OF CUT ADJUSTMENT

If the Roto-Split does not completely cut through the armor it may
be required to adjust the depth of cut. Turn the set screw in
the top housing counter-clockwise a 1/4 turn (use a 3/32 Allen
wrench). Make a trial cut and adjust the set screw until the cas-
ing separates. It is critical to check that the blade does not
nick a wire after adjusting the depth of cut. Make a trial cut
to test. Casing can be separated by inserting the tip of a screw-
driver blade into the slot and twisting to crack it open, or simply
bend the cable slightly at the cut to snap the armored casing.

CUTTING LARGE MC AND FLEX

For large MC, BX and Flex use the ROTO-FLEX RF-120 or
RF-170. The RF-120 cuts MC from AWG 4-4 up to 2-4 and Flex
from 1/2" to 3/4". The RF-170 is our largest capacity hand tool
and cuts MC from AWG 4-4 up to 4/0 and Flex from 1/2" to 1-1/2".
CUTTING REDUCED SIZE MC CABLE
Use the Roto-Split RS-101AC to cut reduced diameter MC cable
such as Southwire MC . Since this cable requires a reduced depth
AP
of cut slide the lever f towards the front of the tool. Make sure
button g is pushed in completely (flush with outer channel)
to center the cable on the blade. Cut the cable armor as detailed
in Step c. To cut standard MC return lever f to the rear position.
Warning: When cutting reduced wall MC the lever must
be set forward to prevent possible damage to conductors

necessary since the nut will automatically secure during the first cut.
Note: Always oil the d blade shaft & thumb screw when blade is replaced

BLADE LUBRICATION

Use our Lubricant Stick LS-105 for longer blade life and to prevent
blade clogging (not for use on aluminum). Lubricant sticks are available
from your local distributor. NOTE: our armored cable cutters have an
opening in front to apply the lubricant stick, simply rotate the handle
with the LS-105 inserted into the tool.
FOR LEFT HANDED USERS: No problem! Hold the Roto-Split upside
down in your right hand & turn the crank clockwise with your left.

BLADE STORAGE

All our Roto-Split and Roto-Flex models (except the RS-101) have a
blade storage cartridge contained in the knob. To release the cartridge
simply pop it out with the tip of a screwdriver. Place your spare blades
inside (up to a maximum of six) and snap the cartridge back into the
knob. For best results always use genuine "BLUE SAPPHIRE" Cat.
