Tool Operation; Handheld - Greenlee ES20LXR Manual De Instrucciones

Tool Operation

• Never touch any part of the tool while it is in
contact with high voltage. The tool should be
considered as at the same voltage as the circuit.
• Always use proper high voltage procedures,
including use of personal protective equipment,
when working near or around high voltage
equipment or conductors. Remain outside of the
arc flash boundary in accordance with NFPA 70E
for the conductor being cut to reduce the risk
of severe injury. If you are not trained and familiar
with appropriate job site and PPE requirements do
not use this tool.
• Do not use on live electrical lines in handheld
mode. This tool is not insulated, severe injury or
death could occur from electric shock and arc flash.
• Only a person trained in working around and on
high voltage electric systems should use this
tool. The voltages these instruments operate at are
to be considered live and dangerous and are lethal.
Severe injury or death can occur if improperly used.
• Always use a hot stick and follow rigorous hot
stick work practices when using this tool in
remote mode, to reduce the risk of injury.
• Never allow another high voltage conductor,
or grounded point to contact the instrument
during use. Always keep the tool housing clear of
all conductors to prevent shorting the circuit and
causing an arc flash that could result in severe
injury or death.
• Keep your fingers and hands away from the tool
head during the operating cycle. Remove battery
before touching the cutting head or attaching/
removing the hot stick adapter. Your fingers or
hands can be crushed, fractured, or amputated if
they become caught in the tool head or between
the tool head and other objects.
• Do not cut cable under tension. Cable can whip
and strike when cut and result in severe injury or
death.

• Do not stand directly under overhead cables and
this tool when attached to a hot stick. The cable
or tool can fall and cause severe injuries or death.
• One person must control work process and
machine operation. Only the operator should
handle the tool and remote to reduce the risk of
injury.
ES20LXR has two cutting profiles, handheld and
remote. Handheld operation can be used to cut elec-
trical cable or appropriate types of metal rods and
wire. (see Specifications) Remote operation allows the
operator to be physically separated from the cutting tool
when making a cut by using a special paired remote and
an appropriate hot stick.

Handheld

Before use, confirm lines to be cut are de-energized or
properly grounded.
1. Insert battery.
2. Support the tool from the battery end with both
hands to look at the OLED screen on the tool. Press
and hold both buttons to view User Select Screen.
Cycle through screens using the right button to
scroll to the desired profile.
3. Press tool trigger to activate Handheld profile.
4. Support tool and keep hands away from cutting
head, double click and hold the trigger for one com-
plete cycle to test the tool. The white LED light will
remain on during operation and for 10 seconds after
trigger is released.
5. The cutting head will automatically open at the end
of a cutting cycle. The blade will not move in the
Remote profile without input from the remote.
6. If needed, press, and hold the retract button to
return the blade to the open position. Position the
tool so the cable is in the open cutting head.
7. Hold tool steady and position tool at a 90
to the cable (Fig.1). Do not twist work piece or tool
during cutting operation, blade failure could result.
