Abstract
An electric cable cutter of the present invention comprises a housing, and a stationary blade and a moving blade which are exposed from the housing. The housing includes a body unit containing an electric motor and a planetary reduction gear driven by the electric motor, a handle unit formed so as to be easily held by hand, and a power source unit to which a battery cartridge is inserted. A switch lever for operating the switch to drive the electric motor is placed on the holding unit. Owing to this structure, a user easily cuts a cable by one hand at the inconvenient places, e.g., at height. This electric cable cutter is portable because of the rechargeable battery, so that this cutter can be utilized in any place.
