How to use

Use the pliers for gripping, bending or cutting wires and small components by positioning the jaws on the workpiece and applying controlled hand pressure. For cutting, place the wire close to the cutting edge and squeeze the handles firmly until the cut is complete. When working on electrical circuits, always verify that the VDE insulation rating meets the requirements for the specific task and follow appropriate safety procedures. Inspect the tool before use to ensure the insulation and cutting edges are intact.

Usage recommendations

Do not use the insulated pliers on live circuits beyond the specified VDE rating. Regularly check the handle insulation for damage and avoid exposing the grips to solvents or elevated temperatures. Use eye protection when cutting wires and replace the tool if jaws or cutting edges become worn or damaged.
