ABSTRACT:
A device for use with a cable including a body having an opening to receive the cable. A cutting element is movable within the body between a first position and a second position. When the cutting element is in the first position, the cutting element does not extend into the opening such that the cable may be displaced into the opening. When the cutting element is displaced into a second position, the cutting element extends into the opening by an adjustable amount such as to engage a cable positioned within the opening. A manually operable adjustment device adjusts the amount that the cutting element extends into the opening when the cutting element is positioned in the second position. The manually operable adjustment device includes a further member that secures the cutting element and allows for motion of the cutting element in a direction towards and away from the center of the opening between the first position and the second position. The manually operable adjustment device also includes a manually-operable, non-rotatable, slidable member that when slid, adjusts travel of the further member in the direction. The adjustment of travel of the further member, in turn, adjusts the amount that the cutting element extends into the opening when the cutting element is positioned in the second position, thereby adjusting the maximum cut depth into the cable by the cutting element.
