Choose the Correct Fit
Verify the armor type and outside size before cutting. De-energize and verify the cable before preparing it.
Select the correct depth position for standard or reduced MC and make a controlled cut rather than forcing the handle.
Installation & Care
Inspect the underlying jacket and conductors after opening the armor. Follow the cable and fitting instructions for removal and termination.
Use a correctly matched replacement blade and inspect the clamp and blade seating after installation. Store spare blades securely in the handle.

Important Product Questions
Can it cut the cable conductors as well as the armor?
Its stated purpose is cutting the outer armor. Use a conductor cutter rated for the actual conductor material and size when separating the conductors.
Does the depth switch guarantee the wires cannot be nicked?
No setting removes the need to match the armor and inspect the result. Choose the correct standard or reduced-MC setting and stop if the underlying cable is damaged.
Which replacement blade matches this cutter?
The exact replacement listing identifies Milwaukee 48-22-6112 for the 48-22-6111 cutter. Follow the tool instructions for installation and check that the blade seats correctly.
