c. Use of Bolt and Cable Cutters.
(1) Select the proper cutter for the job. Determine the kind of work
to be cut and the hardness and thickness of the material.
(2) Position the work as far back as possible into the jaws to
prevent damage to the jaws, and to reduce the pressure required for cutting.
