Insulated Side-Cutting Pliers EPM 160 mm 1000V model E-400-0033

Insulated Side-Cutting Pliers EPM 160 mm 1000V model E-400-0033 are precision cutting pliers designed for electrical installation and maintenance work. With a compact 160 mm length and hardened cutting edges, these side-cutting pliers are intended for cutting, trimming and stripping soft and medium-hard wires. The tool features ergonomic insulated handles rated for up to 1000 V, providing protection for the user when working on live or potentially live circuits according to the intended insulation class.

Advantages

The pliers combine a compact design with hardened cutting jaws that deliver clean cuts and reduced deformation of conductors. Insulated handles reduce the risk of electrical shock while working near live parts, and the overall length gives good access in confined spaces. The tool's build quality supports repeated use in professional electrical and maintenance tasks, offering durability and consistent cutting performance.

Suitable for

• Cutting and trimming copper and aluminum conductors
• Electrical installation and routine maintenance work
• Working in control panels and confined spaces
• Tasks requiring insulated hand tools for safety near live circuits

Key specifications

• Total length: 160 mm
• Insulation rating: 1000 V
• Type: side-cutting (diagonal) pliers
• Handle: ergonomic insulated grips
• Cutting edges: hardened cutting jaws for clean cuts
• Intended use: cutting and trimming wires in electrical work

How to use

Position the wire between the cutting edges close to the joint area to achieve a clean cut. Apply steady pressure on the handles until the conductor is severed; avoid twisting motions that can damage the cutting edges. Use the pliers only within their rated insulation class and visualise the condition of the insulation before each use. Keep cutting edges free from dirt and inspect for nicks or wear that could affect performance or safety.

Usage recommendations

Use these insulated side-cutting pliers for routine electrical cutting tasks and periodic maintenance of wiring systems. Store the tool in a dry place, inspect insulation and cutting edges before work, and replace the pliers if the protective handles are damaged or if cutting performance deteriorates. Do not exceed the specified insulation voltage and follow relevant safety procedures when working on live circuits.
