Bahco Ergo Insulated Long Nose Pliers

These pliers are insulated and tested for safe use on live equipment up to 1,000V AC and 1,500V DC, compliant with IEC 60900 standards. Always ensure the voltage of the equipment does not exceed this rating and that the tool's insulation is undamaged.

The hardened cutting edges are suitable for cutting both soft and hard wire. However, they are not designed for cutting heavy-gauge cables or extremely hard materials like bolts.

Keep the handles clean and dry. Wipe them with a soft cloth after use. Avoid exposing them to solvents or sharp objects that could damage the insulation.

Yes, the gripping and cutting features make them useful for general assembly or crafting tasks. However, their primary design and safety certification are for electrical applications.

The half-round shape allows the pliers to grip both flat surfaces (like sheet metal) and round objects (like wires or pipes) effectively and securely.

Inspect the handles regularly for any cuts, nicks, cracks, or signs of wear. If any damage is visible, the insulation is compromised, and the pliers should not be used on live circuits.

Ensure jaws are clean and free from debris. Check for excessive wear on the serrations. For gripping round material, ensure the correct jaw orientation is used.

The cutting edges may need professional sharpening. Avoid using for materials harder than specified.

Wipe handles with a dry cloth to remove any oils or contaminants. Ensure hands are dry when using the tool.

Discontinue use immediately. Damaged insulation compromises electrical safety. Replace the pliers.
