How to operate wire cutters correctly

Wire cutters are used to clamp or bend sheet-shaped and cylindrical metal parts and cut wire. The side cutting edge can also be used to cut thin wire. Precautions for the use of wire cutters: Use pliers to do your best, not overloading them. Never twist the pliers while cutting continuously, it is easy to break teeth and damage, whether it is steel wire or wire or copper wire, as long as the pliers can leave a bite mark, then use the teeth of the front of the pliers to clamp the wire and gently lift or The wire can be broken by pressing down the wire, which not only saves labor but also does not damage the pliers, which can effectively extend the service life. In addition, wire pliers are divided into insulated and non-insulated, and you should pay attention to distinguish when live operation, so as not to be injured by strong electricity!

　　Precautions for use of wire cutters

　　 1. During the use of wire cutters, do not bump, damage or burn the insulated handle, and pay attention to moisture;

　　 2. In order to prevent rust, the clamp shaft should be lubricated frequently;

　　 3. During live operation, keep the distance between the hand and the metal part of the wire cutter more than 2cm;

　　 4. According to different uses, choose different specifications of wire cutters;

　　 5. Cannot be used as a hammer.

　　Wire cutter safety knowledge

　　 1. Before using electrician wire cutters, you must check whether the insulation of the insulation handle is intact. If the insulation is damaged, it is very dangerous when carrying out live work, and an electric shock may occur;

　　 2. When cutting the live wire with electric wire cutters, do not cut the live wire and the neutral wire at the same time with the knife edge to avoid short circuit failure;

　　 3. Pay attention to the safe distance between the metal part of the clamp head and the charged body when working with electricity.

The function of each part of the wire cutter is:

　　① Jaws: can be used to hold objects;

　　② Teeth: can be used to tighten or loosen nuts;

　　③Knife edge: It can be used to cut wires, iron wires, and can also be used to cut the rubber or plastic insulation of flexible wires;

　　④guillotine mouth: can be used to cut hard wires such as electric wires and steel wires;

　　 ⑤The insulated plastic tube of the pliers can withstand voltage above 500V. With it, the electric wire can be cut with electricity. In use, avoid throwing. So as not to damage the insulated plastic tube.

　　 Wire cutters commonly used by electricians consist of various specifications such as 150mm, 175mm, 200mm and 250mm.
