Cable cutters Proline 5283160 — for aluminium/copper conductors up to 6 mm

Cable cutters Proline 5283160 are designed for cutting copper and aluminium wires and cables. Made from hardened chrome-vanadium steel (50–60 HRC) with a three-layer non-slip rubber handle, these cutters provide a compact 160 mm length and can cut conductors up to 6 mm in diameter.

Advantages

The hardened chrome-vanadium steel blades ensure durable cutting performance and resistance to wear. The three-layer non-slip rubber handle improves grip and control during use. A 160 mm compact design makes the tool easy to carry and use in confined spaces. Suitable for both copper (Cu) and aluminium (Al) conductors up to 6 mm in diameter.

Suitable for

• Cutting copper (Cu) conductors
• Cutting aluminium (Al) conductors
• Electrical installation and repair tasks in tight spaces
• Network and telecommunication cable work

How to use

Position the conductor between the cutting edges, apply steady pressure on the handles until the wire is severed. For multistranded cables, align the strands to ensure a clean cut. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting under tension or in confined conditions. Inspect the cutting edges regularly and avoid cutting materials harder than specified to maintain blade life.

Usage recommendations

Use these cutters only on copper and aluminium conductors up to 6 mm diameter; do not use for cutting steel, hardened wire, or other unsuitable materials. Keep blades clean and lightly lubricated to prevent corrosion and ensure consistent cutting performance.
