How should I maintain the cutters?

What does 'VDE tested' mean?

VDE testing indicates that the tool has been tested to specific safety standards for insulated tools, making them suitable for working near live electrical circuits.

Troubleshooting

Jaws are stiff or difficult to open/close

Clean the pivot area and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Ensure no debris is caught in the pivot.

Cuts are not clean or are crushing wires

Check for any nicks or damage on the cutting edges. Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum cutting capacity of 2.0mm. Clean the jaws thoroughly.

Handles feel slippery

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The bi-material grip is designed for optimal grip; however, extreme conditions may affect performance. Check that the horns are not obstructed.

Tethering point feels loose

Inspect the fixing point for any damage. Ensure any attached lanyard or strap is securely fastened.
