Cutting Pliers ORBIS 47-1600/40RV, cable cutters 160 mm, insulated up to 1000 V

ORBIS cutting pliers 47-1600/40RV are compact 160 mm cable cutters designed for safe and precise cutting of electrical cables and conductors. The tool combines hardened cutting edges with insulated handles rated up to 1000 V, enabling work on live or potentially live circuits while maintaining control in confined spaces. Its compact length and ergonomic profile provide accurate handling for routine electrical and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The pliers feature hardened and precisely ground cutting edges that ensure clean cuts on copper and aluminium conductors without excessive deformation. Insulated handles tested to 1000 V reduce the risk when working near live components. The compact 160 mm design supports access in tight areas and improves operator control, while the durable construction provides long service life under typical workshop and field conditions.

Suitable for

• Cutting electrical cables and individual conductors
• Electrical installation work in residential and commercial settings
• Maintenance and repair tasks in confined spaces
• Use by electricians, technicians and field service personnel

Key specifications

• Overall length: 160 mm
• Cutting type: cable/copper and aluminium conductor cutting
• Handle insulation: rated up to 1000 V for electrical safety
• Cutting edges: hardened and ground for clean shearing
• Typical use environment: electrical installations and maintenance

How to use

Position the conductor between the cutting edges near the tool pivot for the most effective shear action. Apply steady pressure to the handles while keeping fingers clear of the cutting area. For insulated work, verify the insulation rating is appropriate for the circuit voltage and follow standard electrical safety procedures including de-energising circuits where possible and using personal protective equipment. After cutting, inspect the blades for damage and remove burrs from cut conductors as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers only on conductors and cable types within the tool's capacity; avoid cutting hardened steel, nails or materials not intended for cable cutters. Periodically clean and lightly oil the pivot to maintain smooth operation and check insulation integrity before use on live circuits.
