FAQs

Can I use this to cut steel bolts or piano wire?

No, this tool is designed specifically for copper and aluminum cables. Using it on hard materials like steel will damage the precision cutting edges.

Does it come with a warranty?

NWS tools are professional products backed by strict manufacturing standards. Please refer to your local dealer for specific warranty terms regarding industrial hand tools.

What is the benefit of the SystemSocket?

The SystemSocket allows you to attach accessories like the NWS SystemClip, which is ideal for securing the tool with a lanyard when working at heights.

Is the pivot screw adjustable?

Yes, the tool features a re-adjustable screw-joint, allowing you to maintain optimal blade pressure over the life of the tool.

Where is this tool manufactured?

This tool is manufactured in Solingen, Germany, a region renowned for high-quality steel production.

Troubleshooting

Cutting action feels gritty or stiff

Clean the pivot area of debris and apply a small drop of machine oil to the screw-joint.

Cables are not being cut completely through

Check if the blades have developed nicks or if the screw-joint needs to be tightened to increase blade tension.

Insulation sleeve looks damaged

Do not attempt to tape or repair the insulation; replace the tool immediately to ensure safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The cutter comes ready to use right out of the box. No initial setup is required. To maintain peak performance, keep the pivot area free of debris and lightly lubricate the screw-joint periodically to maintain smooth action. Always inspect the VDE insulation sleeves before each use; if you notice any cracks, tears, or exposure of the underlying metal, the tool must be removed from service to maintain your electrical safety standards. Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent corrosion of the high-grade steel blades.
