Description
Example
Adjust the clamping pin so that the conduit is just held in
the recess. Squeeze the lever and body whilst rotating the
cutting blade. When the blade appears on the inside of
the conduit, release the pressure and remove the conduit.
A simple twist will then separate the two parts. Where the
conduit is covered, the covering can be cut prior to
separation. Spare blades are available.
