What is the maximum diameter of cable I can cut?

You can cut copper and aluminum cables up to 15 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter.

How do I clean the pliers?

Wipe the pliers with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Remove any debris or wire insulation that may accumulate.

How often should I lubricate the pliers?

Periodically apply a light lubricant to the joints to ensure smooth operation, especially after cleaning or if the pliers are used frequently.

Are the stripping profiles adjustable?

What materials are the pliers made of?

What is the warranty on these pliers?

Troubleshooting

Wire not stripping cleanly.

Ensure you are using the correct stripping profile for the wire gauge. If the issue persists, the stripping blade may be worn and need sharpening or replacement.

Cutting cables is difficult.

Make sure you are not exceeding the tool's maximum cutting diameter. Ensure the cutting blades are clean and free of debris.

The pliers are difficult to open and close.

Clean and lubricate the joint with a light machine oil. Check for any obstructions or debris that may be interfering with the movement.

Gripping surfaces are not providing a secure grip.

Clean the gripping surfaces to remove any oil or debris. If the surfaces are worn, consider replacing the pliers.
