OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Tools are NOT insulated for use on or near
energized conductors. Use of these tools
near energized conductors may lead to
electrical shock, causing severe injury or
death.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades move at high
speed and force and can cause severe
personal injury. Keep all body parts
away from moving parts of the tool during
operation.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades have sharp
edges that may cause personal injury while
not in use or during blade replacement
or installation. Use caution and personal
protective equipment when handling tool
and blades.
Projectile hazard. Cutter blades may break
during operation due to stress cracks or
misapplication. Always carefully inspect
blades before use to avoid serious personal
injury.
Projectile hazard. Operator must clear all
bystanders from the work area especially
when cutting cable, rebar and groundrod
ends to avoid potential injury to bystanders.
Hydraulic uid under pressure. Do NOT use
any part of your body to locate a hydraulic
leak. Escaping uid under pressure can
cause severe injury or death. If injury
results from escaping hydraulic uid, seek
immediate medical attention to avoid
serious bodily injury.
Use all appropriate personal safety equipment when
handling, operating, and servicing this tool such as: safety
shoes, hard hat, eye and ear protection, work gloves, and
sleeves.

DESCRIPTION
The ANDERSON® BP18CC129ACSR battery powered cutting tool is compact, fast, easy to use and incorporates the
latest in battery tool technology. The ergonomic design allows one hand operation so that the other is free to manipulate
the conductor in the proper cutting position. The BP18CC129ACSR tool incorporates a specialized latch style cutting
head that allows interference-free closure for mid-span cuts. The cutter head rotates 180 degrees to allow users to
get into tight areas easier. The BP18CC129ACSR tool is capable of cutting up to 1.29" diameter copper and aluminum
cable, 1113 ACSR, 5/8" ground rod, ½" rebar and 5/8" diameter soft steel bolts.
The BP18CC129ACSR tools marked with the “EP Enhanced Power” label, are designed to accept an expanded range
of Makita batteries, from larger capacity 5.0 Ah to smaller 2.0 Ah capacity, providing the user with more choices and
exibility. The BP18CC129ACSR tool comes equipped with a high impact formed carrying case to hold the tool, a tool
retention lanyard, a battery charger and two batteries.
PLEASE NOTE: Prior models, tools without the “EP Enhanced Power” label, will only accept Makita 18V 3.0 Ah
batteries. Do not force a 5.0 Ah battery into your tool. Damage caused by doing so, will void the warranty.

PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
7
Before operating your BP18CC129ACSR, carefully read
and follow these PRE-OPERATION instructions to ensure
your tool is in proper working condition. Read and follow the
Battery Charger Instruction Manual included for operating
your battery charger unit. Following these instructions,
charge the battery(s).
1. With a fully charged battery installed, depress the
upper trigger rst to make certain that the tool ram is fully
retracted.
NOTE: To maximize the crimp cycles available from a
battery, ensure the battery is fully charged before operating.
Before proceeding to step 2 make certain that the latch
is closed.
2. Insert a charged battery into the tool handle. The battery
will only insert in the proper orientation. The battery will
snap into place securing the battery to the tool.
Read and follow all PRE-OPERATION and safety
instructions provided for your BP18CC129ACSR and for
the battery charger (see Charger Instruction Manual)
and accessories. Failure to follow the proper operating
instructions and safety information provided can lead to
serious personal injury or death.
Blades must be cleaned and inspected for ne cracks or
damage before each use. Blades with cracks or damage
may break during frequent use or when subjected to high
cutting pressures. Replace damaged blades immediately
to avoid serious personal injury.
1) Clean blades of dirt and oils with a dry, clean cloth.
2) Carefully inspect each blade for ne cracks. A stress
crack will normally develop after extended use around
the lower portion of the blade’s “U” shape and extend
downwards.
Please note that it is not necessary to have a battery
installed in the BP18CC129ACSR in order to retract the
tool ram.
3) Immediately replace any blade exhibiting the possible
formation of a stress crack.
4) Visually inspect the blade for nicks or notches. Use a
sharpening stone to smooth minor aws of the cutting
blade to enhance the cutting action.
5) Replace blades that have damaged cutting surfaces
to improve the cutting operation and to reduce blade
and tool stress.

OPERATION
Tools are NOT insulated for use on or near
energized conductors. Use of these tools
near energized conductors may lead to
electrical shock, causing severe injury or
death.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades move at high
speed and force and can cause severe
personal injury. Keep all body parts
away from moving parts of the tool during
operation.
Blade hazard. Cutter blades have sharp
edges that may cause personal injury while
not in use or during blade replacement
or installation. Use caution and personal
protective equipment when handling tool
and blades.
Projectile hazard. Cutter blades may break
during operation due to stress cracks or
misapplication. Always carefully inspect
blades before use to avoid serious personal
injury.
1) Read and follow the PRE-OPERATION instructions
and Battery Instruction Manual. Insert a battery into the
tool according to the PRE-OPERATION instructions.
2) Ensure that ram is fully retracted by depressing the
upper trigger.
3) Make certain the latch bar is completely engaged and
locked.
4) Be sure to cut only one conductor at a time.
5) When cutting bare conductor, apply tape or wire
around the cable being cut to hold the individual
strands together.
6) If cutting near the end of a cable length, rebar or
groundrod, cover the end and direct it away from any
bystanders.
7) With the head of the tool facing AWAY from your body,
place the cable between the open blades in the cutter
tool.
8) Depress the lower trigger; the ram will advance the
lower cutter blade during the activation cycle to cut
the cable. For best result make every effort to keep
the cable perpendicular to the cable cutter tool.
Failure to do so will cause damage to the tool and
may lead to serious personal injury.
Projectile hazard. Operator must clear all
bystanders from the work area especially
when cutting cable and rebar ends to avoid
potential injury to bystanders.
Hydraulic uid under pressure. Do NOT use
any part of your body to locate a hydraulic
leak. Escaping uid under pressure can
cause severe injury or death. If injury
results from escaping hydraulic uid, seek
immediate medical attention to avoid
serious bodily injury.
Do NOT over-reach while operating this tool.
Loss of balance can cause serious personal
injury or death. Move closer to work area
and securely support yourself and your
work. ALWAYS keep proper footing and
balance.
NOTE: Do not immerse the tool in water, as it is not
designed to operate under water. This is considered abuse
and will void the warranty! Always use the tool lanyard
provided to prevent dropping the BP18CC129ACSR.
9) When the cable is cut, release the trigger and depress
the upper trigger to retract the ram.
Always make certain that the latch bar is completely locked
before operating the tool. To remove and install the tool
from a span of cable, open the latch of the tool by pulling
on the latch bar and pivot the latch open. Failure to follow
this procedure could cause damage to the tool.
