## Summary description

NWS 043-49-VDE-160 is a VDE-insulated hand cable cutter designed for cutting cables up to 1.6 cm in diameter. It features an orange/red insulated handle for safe electrical work, a compact 200 mm overall length and weighs 200 g for easy handling. Suitable for electricians and maintenance tasks requiring precise manual cable cutting.

## Long description

NWS 043-49-VDE-160 is a VDE-insulated hand cable cutter engineered for safe, manual cutting of electrical cables up to 160 mm² cross-section (approximately 16 mm diameter). The tool has an overall length of 200 mm and a compact, lightweight design (about 200 g) that supports one-handed operation in confined spaces. The orange/red insulated handle provides visible electrical insulation for low-voltage electrical work and routine maintenance tasks, while hardened cutting blades deliver precise, burr-free cuts on multi-core and single-core cables.
Advantages
The tool combines certified VDE insulation with a compact form factor, ensuring both user protection and accessibility in tight work areas. Its ergonomically shaped, brightly coloured handle improves grip and visibility on job sites. Hardened and ground cutting edges maintain sharpness for consistent cutting performance, and the relatively low weight reduces operator fatigue during repeated use.
Suitable for
 Cutting copper and aluminium electrical cables up to 16 mm diameter (approx. 160 mm² cross-section)
 Electrical installation and maintenance in residential and commercial settings
 Panel work, switchboard maintenance and service tasks requiring precise manual cuts
 Field service and on-site repairs where a compact insulated cutter is needed
Key specifications
 Insulation: VDE-certified, suitable for low-voltage electrical work
 Cutting capacity: up to 160 mm² cross-section / ~16 mm diameter
 Overall length: 200 mm
 Weight: approximately 200 g
 Handle: orange/red insulated, ergonomic shape for improved grip
 Blade: hardened, ground cutting edges for precise cuts
How to use
Position the cable between the cutting blades at the desired cutting point, ensuring the cable is free of tension. Squeeze the handles evenly and apply steady pressure until the blades cut through the conductor. For thicker cables, make sure the cable sits fully within the cutting capacity and use controlled force to avoid slipping. After cutting, inspect the cut end for burrs and, if necessary, trim or deburr to prepare the conductor for termination. Store the cutter dry and away from corrosive environments to preserve blade condition and insulation integrity.
Usage recommendations
Use this VDE-insulated cutter only on de-energised circuits or following applicable safety procedures. Regularly check the insulation for damage and verify blade sharpness; replace the tool if the insulation shows cracks or the blades are excessively worn. Do not use the cutter as a prying tool or on materials beyond its specified cutting capacity.
