FAQs

What is the maximum voltage this tool can be safely used around?

This tool is VDE certified for safe operation on live parts up to 1,000 Volts AC.

Can I use this to cut electrical wire?

This cutter is designed for copper and aluminum cables. It is not suitable for cutting steel wire or conductors with hard coatings.

What does 'crush-free cutting' mean?

It means the tool is designed to cut through cables cleanly without deforming or crushing the conductors, ensuring a precise cut every time.

Can this tool strip wires?

Yes, this cable cutter has integrated functions suitable for stripping duties.

What is the length of the cable cutter?

The cable cutter has a length of 180mm, which is designed for comfortable handling.

How should I clean and maintain the tool?

Wipe clean with a dry cloth after use, store in a dry place, and lubricate the pivot joint occasionally. Inspect regularly for damage.

Is this tool suitable for use on AC or DC circuits?

The VDE certification applies to safe operation on live parts up to 1,000V AC. While it can cut cables on DC circuits, its specific safety rating is for AC live work.

Troubleshooting

Cable is being crushed instead of cut.

Ensure the cable is correctly positioned within the blades and that you are applying firm, even pressure. Verify that the cable material is copper or aluminum and not steel or a hard-coated conductor.

Stripping function is not clean.

Check that the correct stripping notch is being used for the cable's insulation thickness. Ensure the blades are clean and sharp. If dull, professional sharpening may be required.

Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean any debris from the pivot joint and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant.
