FELO side-cutting pliers with lever mechanism model 200, insulated handles

FELO side-cutting pliers model 200 with a lever mechanism and insulated handles are compact cutting tools engineered for precise lateral cutting of wires and small components. The lever mechanism increases cutting force while maintaining controlled, repeatable action. Insulated grips provide a comfortable hold and basic protection during electrical and maintenance tasks. The durable jaw construction and compact head profile support access into confined spaces and precise trimming work.

Advantages

The lever mechanism multiplies applied hand force, reducing user effort and enabling clean cuts on soft and hard wires. Insulated handles improve grip comfort and help reduce slippage in normal working conditions. The compact, slim head design allows access to tight spaces and makes the pliers suitable for fine cutting tasks in electronics and electrical installations. Robust jaw construction and precise alignment maintain cutting performance over time.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper and aluminium wires in electrical installations
• Trimming component leads and small parts in electronics assembly and repair
• General maintenance and workshop tasks requiring compact side cutters

Key specifications

• Tool type: side-cutting pliers with lever mechanism
• Cutting action: lateral/side cutting for wires and small components
• Handle: insulated grips for comfortable hold and basic electrical protection
• Head design: compact/slim for access to confined spaces
• Material and build: hardened cutting edges and robust jaw construction for durability

How to use

Position the wire or component between the cutting edges close to the pivot to maximize leverage. Squeeze the insulated handles evenly until the material is severed. For repeated cuts, keep the cutting edges clean and avoid cutting materials beyond the tool's intended capacity. When working on live circuits, always verify power is off and follow appropriate electrical safety procedures despite the insulated handles.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for their intended purpose: cutting wires and small components. Avoid cutting hardened steel, nails, or rivets to prevent damage to the cutting edges. Store the tool dry and periodically inspect the cutting faces and pivot for wear; lightly lubricate the pivot if needed to maintain smooth lever action.
