C270 Cutter
The Worlds Most Powerful Cutter
 

Features:  The C-270 is constructed of high strength, aircraft grade, aluminum alloy forgings with a wear resistant anodized finish. The blades on the C-270 Cutter are forged steel. The C-270 Cutter has a “D” handle that can be rotated 360 degrees or removed when working in confined spaces. The C-270 Cutter has a variable speed, “deadman” control with load holding capability and over-pressurization relief. 

Rotating and Removable Handle
The C-270 cutter comes with an adjustable and removable "D" shaped handle.  This handle can be rotated 360^o  or completely removed for use in confined spaces.  Being able to rotate the handle allows the cutter to be easily using in any position.  Professional Note:  Most experienced personnel keep the handle slightly loose.  They routinely adjust the handle position throughout a rescue.

  Push Button Control
One of the most beneficial features of the C-270 Cutter is the push button control.  The control is a variable speed device allowing the cutter to be "feathered."  This controls the speed of the cutter when opening and closing.  The control is fitted with a guard to protect the rescuer's hands from obstructions and offers protection to the connecting hoses of the tool.

Over-Pressurization Relief Valve
If the couplers have not been properly engaged or there is a blockage in the return line, preventing the fluid flow back to the unit, a relief in the control handle automatically releases fluid.  This causes a low pressure fluid leak from the hole between the hoses.  The power unit is switched to the neutral position and the couplings can be connected or the blockage removed.  Ordinary tools that do not have this device can literally explode.
