A CUTTING DEVICE

The invention relates to a cutting device comprising a jaw with a first jaw member (2) and a second jaw member (3), a first handle (5) attached to the first jaw member (2) and a second handle (8) rotatably connected to the second jaw member (3) at a second pivot point (9), a gear including a first set of teeth (11) and a second set of teeth (12) at a first end (4) of the second handle (8). The second handle (8) is slidably connected to the second jaw member (3) at the second pivot point (9) to allow the second handle (8) and the second set of teeth (12) to move into a disengaged position where the second set of teeth (12) are located at a distance from the first set of teeth (11). The ensure that the teeth of the gear engage correctly, a slide lock (23) is in an enabling state allowing the second handle (8) and the second set of teeth (12) to slide in a slide direction from the disengaged position to the engaged position only when the first set of teeth (11) and the second set of teeth (12) are aligned into a mutually predetermined position.
