FAQs

What is the VDE rating of these tools?

The tools are insulated and tested according to DIN EN/IEC 60900, providing protection for live working up to 1000V.

Are the tools suitable for use by non-professionals?

While the tools are designed for professionals, non-professionals can use them. However, it's crucial to understand and adhere to all safety precautions, especially regarding live electrical work.

Does the set include a lanyard?

This specific set (Model: N787) includes the tools and a lanyard as part of the sales packaging. However, accessories like the SystemClip for fall protection are optional and sold separately.

How do I attach accessories like the SystemClip?

Accessories like the SystemClip attach to the integrated SystemSocket located on the SoftGripp handles. Ensure the accessory is securely fastened before use.

Can these cutters be used for cutting hard wires or steel cables?

The set includes a Cable Cutter and an Electrician's Side Cutter. These are designed for electrical wiring and cables. For very hard materials or steel cables beyond their specified capacity, a more specialized tool might be required.

What types of screwdrivers are included?

The product description mentions 'Screwdriver for sl)' which is incomplete. Generally, VDE screwdriver sets include common types like Phillips or slotted heads for electrical work. Please refer to the specific packaging or product details for exact screwdriver types included.

How should I clean the VDE insulation?

Clean the VDE insulation with a soft, damp cloth and dry it thoroughly. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the insulation.

Troubleshooting

Cutting edges are dull or not cutting cleanly.

Ensure the cutting edges are clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, the hardened edges may need professional servicing or replacement.

Handles feel uncomfortable or slippery.

Ensure your hands are dry and clean. The SoftGripp handles are designed for optimal grip; check for any damage to the grip material.

Tool feels stiff or difficult to operate.

Clean the pivot point and apply a small amount of light machine oil. Check for any obstructions or damage to the moving parts.

VDE insulation appears damaged.

Immediately discontinue use for any live electrical work. Inspect the tool closely; if damage is confirmed, the tool must be replaced to ensure safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a ready-to-use tool set. No specific setup is required other than ensuring the tools are clean and free from any packaging debris before first use.

Compatibility: The tools are designed for general electrical work. The SystemSocket on the handles is compatible with NWS SystemClip accessories for fall protection, which are sold separately.

Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of the tools:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, wipe the tools clean with a dry cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn residues, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cutting Edges: Keep the cutting edges of the pliers clean and dry. Occasional light lubrication with a fine machine oil can prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
  3. Insulation: Regularly inspect the VDE insulation for any signs of damage, cracks, or wear. If damage is found, the tool should no longer be used for live electrical work and should be replaced.
  4. Storage: Store the tools in a dry place, ideally in a tool bag or case, to protect them from moisture and physical damage.
