Key specifications

• Overall length: 180 mm
• Tool type: diagonal-cutting pliers
• Handle material: PVC coating
• Cutting edge: hardened steel
• Color of handles: red

How to use

Place the wire or small metal part between the cutting edges near the tip of the jaws, align the material to achieve the desired cut position, and squeeze the handles firmly and evenly until the material is severed. For insulated electrical conductors, position the blades to cut the conductor without contacting surrounding insulation unnecessarily. Use controlled hand pressure to avoid twisting or deforming the cut piece and keep fingers clear of the cutting zone.

Usage recommendations

Inspect cutting edges before use and avoid cutting hardened steel that exceeds the tool's intended capacity. Keep the pliers clean and dry; apply light oil to pivot points occasionally to maintain smooth operation. Store in a dry place and use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting live circuits or sharp components.
