These professional-grade Insulated Diagonal Cutting Pliers are engineered for safe and efficient cutting of wires in energized components. The key characteristic is its insulation, which covers the handles, providing protection against electrical shock when Live Line Working. This insulation meets IEC 60900 standard for voltage ratings, such as 1,000 VAC and 1500 VDC, ensuring safety during high-voltage electrical tasks. Insulated Diagonal Cutting Pliers are essential for electricians, linemen, and electrical technicians performing maintenance, installation, or troubleshooting of electrical systems.
APPLICATION
The cutting nipper is used in live work up to 1000 V AC or up to 1500 V DC, at switchgear devices, cable lines and overhead lines. The nipper is designed for cutting single or multi-core cables (Al, Cu) with cross-sections up to 10 mm2 and steel wires with cross-section up to 5 mm2.
STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE
Store and transport the cutting nipper in a bag or toolbox separate from other tools to avoid mechanical damage. Store the cutting nipper in dry rooms away from heat sources, in a non-aggressive chemical atmosphere. Protect from sunlight. The cutting nipper should be cleaned after each use. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. If it is very dirty, clean the cutting nipper with a cloth dampened with water and mild detergent or with a cloth dampened with ASOREL and dry it thoroughly.
