The tie-wire cutter is used to cut binding wires: Insert the wire cutter into the groove of the pin insulator. If necessary create a gap between the insulator and the binding wire with the help of the tie wire cutter blade. When a cut is made in the immediate vicinity of a line conductor and in order not to injure the conductor, it is recommended to position the cutter sideways parallel to the conductor.
