CUT OUT SWITCH KNIFE TYPE GALLAGHER G60770

Mount the cut-out switch in a dry location along your fence line, typically near the power source or at a gate for easy access. Wire it inline with your energiser following the manufacturer's diagram—it sits between your power unit and the fence wire. Once installed, test the switch by flicking it on and off to confirm the energiser cuts power to the fence as expected. Keep the switch away from damp conditions and livestock to prevent corrosion and accidental damage. Tips: Install your cut-out switch at a spot you'll actually use regularly, like near your working gates, so you're not tempted to climb the fence or bypass it when you need to safely access the paddock. Check the switch terminals every few months for corrosion or loose connections, especially in wet Queensland weather—a bit of contact cleaner keeps it reliable. Don't rely on the switch as your only safety measure; always treat the fence as live and use proper insulated tools when working on it.
