Remote IED Wire Cutter
Introduction
The Remotely Operated Wire Cutter is a lightweight tool designed to
remotely cut command wires or wires within an lED circuit (by
suitable trained EOD operators) at the standard safety distances.
The RIWC is ideal for use in the light scales or assault IED roles and by
suitably trained High Threat Search Teams.
The remote IED wire cutter is supplied with an operating manual,
but essentially there are five easy steps to follow:
1 Wire cutter spring is wound to its maximum and the trigger safety
is applied.
2 Place the cutter near to command wire, bracing its position with
tethered lines.
3 The trigger line is attached with a snap hook or karabiner.
4 Ease the wire into the open cutting slot and trap it in place
with the sprung cover.
5 Release the safety catch, retreat to a stand-off position and
pull line to fire blades.
Safety notes
• A safe stand-off distance should always be observed when using
the RIWC.
• Command wires should never be cut by hand
• Cutting a wire may initiate a device in close proximity to the
intended cut point.
