Cable cutter Proline 28312 — handheld cutter for electrical cables, 1 pc

Proline 28312 lever-action cable shears are designed to cut large-section aluminum and copper conductors up to 500 mm². The tool uses a lever mechanism to multiply hand force, allowing controlled, straight cuts in thick single-core and stranded cables. Hardened cutting blades maintain sharpness during repetitive use, while ergonomically shaped handles reduce operator fatigue. This cutter is intended for professional electrical, industrial, and construction tasks where reliable cutting of heavy-gauge cable is required.

Advantages

The lever-action design increases mechanical advantage, enabling clean cuts with less physical effort compared to direct-action shears. Heat-treated, hardened blades provide long-lasting edge retention and consistent performance on both aluminum and copper conductors. Ergonomic handles improve grip and control, helping to maintain cutting accuracy and reduce slipping. The robust construction ensures durability for frequent use in demanding environments.

Suitable for

• Cutting AL and CU single-core and multi-strand cables up to 500 mm²
• Electrical installation and maintenance work on power distribution systems
• Industrial and construction sites handling heavy-gauge cable
• Workshops and service vehicles requiring a portable heavy-duty cable cutter

Key specifications

• Maximum conductor cross-section: 500 mm² (aluminium and copper)
• Cutting mechanism: lever-action for increased mechanical advantage
• Blade material and treatment: hardened cutting edges for wear resistance
• Handle design: ergonomic grips for improved comfort and control
• Intended use environment: professional electrical, industrial, and construction applications

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades and align it perpendicular to the blade edge for a straight cut. Apply steady pressure to the handles—use the lever mechanism to increase force gradually until the conductor is severed. For multi-strand cables, ensure all strands are fully within the cutting path before completing the cut. Inspect blades regularly for nicks or deformation and keep them clean to ensure consistent cutting quality. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow site safety procedures when working with live or potentially energized conductors; disconnect power where applicable.

Usage recommendations

Use these shears only on cables within the specified cross-section limit. Do not attempt to cut materials other than aluminium or copper conductors, and avoid cutting steel, armored cable sheaths, or bolt heads to prevent blade damage. Store in a dry place and periodically lubricate pivot points to maintain smooth lever action.
