Parallel
Even (aligned)
as close as
possible
1. Loosen the nuts (in green), two places.
2. Close the handles completely.
3. Turn/index each bolt (in red) such that the cutting
edges of the blades are parallel and just touch, being
sure the tips of the blades are also even. You may have to
slightly open the handles to correctly position the jaws.
4. Tighten the green nut while securing the red bolt, as to retain
its position, two places.
5. Adjust the yellow bolt to provide mechanical stop consistant
with jaw touch.
6. Tighten yellow jam nut while securing yellow bolt to retain its
position.
7. Verify that yellow bolt provides mechanical stop consistant when
jaws touch. NOTE: It is desirable to provide a slight gap as
opposed to jaws compressing cutting edges which may result in
damage to the jaws, etc. Bolt cutters may not be the ideal tool
to cut razor wire and other thin material.
JAW ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Bolts (in red) have non-concentric rings on shanks which allow
jaw adjustment. Use the following procedure to adjust jaws so
cutting edges almost touch (parallel) and tips are even (aligned)
as close as possible when handles are closed.
