Eaton Corp. (ETN) said Wednesday that it will cut another 5,200 staff through compulsory layoffs amid a continuing slowdown in its international end markets.

The Cleveland diversified manufacturer announced 3,400 job losses at the end of last year, and the latest move takes the work-force reduction to 10% of global staffing.

The company sent layoff notices Tuesday, spokeswoman Kelly Jasko said. She said further details - including location and potential restructuring charges - would be announced with fourth-quarter earnings Monday.

Eaton cut its guidance for the quarter a second time in December, caught in the dramatic slowdown seen across the auto and manufacturing sectors. The company's electrical and aerospace units also felt pressure.

The company expects to earn $1 to $1.10 a share before items in the December quarter after cutting 70 cents from its guidance.

Eaton shares closed Tuesday at $47 and were inactive in the premarket.
