2. Veiligheidsinformatie
Always prioritize safety when working with tools, especially electrical tools. Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in injury or damage to the tool or property.
- Oogbescherming: Always wear appropriate eye protection (safety glasses or goggles) to prevent injury from flying debris.
- Insulated Handles: The pliers feature bi-material handles designed for a secure grip. However, these pliers are not rated for live electrical work unless explicitly stated as VDE 1000V certified. Always ensure power is disconnected before working on electrical circuits.
- Correct gebruik: Use the tool only for its intended purpose: stripping and cutting electrical wires. Do not use it as a hammer, pry bar, or for other unintended applications.
- Maintain Tool: Keep the tool clean and in good working condition. Inspect for damage before each use. Do not use if damaged.
- Kinderen en omstanders: Houd kinderen en omstanders uit de buurt tijdens het gebruik van het gereedschap.
This product is TÜV Rheinland certified, indicating compliance with relevant safety standards.

4. Instellen
The pliers require minimal setup. Before first use, familiarize yourself with the adjustment mechanisms:
- Stripping Length Adjustment: Locate the adjustable stop mechanism. Slide it to the desired length for the insulation you wish to remove. This ensures consistent strip lengths.
- Spanningsaanpassing: A small screw or dial is typically present to adjust the tension of the stripping jaws. For smaller gauge wires, less tension may be required to prevent damage to the conductor. For larger gauge wires, more tension ensures a clean strip. Test on a scrap piece of wire first.
5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
Volg deze stappen voor een effectieve en veilige werking:
5.1. Draadstrippen
- Select Wire: Identify the wire to be stripped and its gauge. The pliers are suitable for 22-10 AWG (0.2-6 mm²) wires.
- Positie Draad: Open the pliers and insert the wire into the stripping jaws. Ensure the wire is seated correctly and the insulation is aligned with the adjustable stop (if used).
- Knijphandvatten: Firmly squeeze the handles together. The jaws will grip the insulation, cut it, and then pull it away from the conductor.
- Uitgave: Release the handles to free the stripped wire. Inspect the conductor for any nicks or damage. If damage occurs, adjust the tension and re-strip.
5.2. Draadsnijden
The integrated wire cutter is located on the pliers.
- Positie Draad: Place the wire to be cut into the designated cutting area of the pliers.
- Knijphandvatten: Knijp stevig in de handgrepen om de draad door te knippen.
5.3. Krimpen
The pliers include crimping jaws for insulated and non-insulated terminals.
- Selecteer Terminal: Choose the appropriate terminal for your wire gauge.
- Aansluiting invoegen: Place the terminal into the correct crimping slot on the pliers.
- Draad invoegen: Steek de gestripte draad in de aansluiting.
- Krimpen: Squeeze the handles firmly until the crimp is complete.
6. Onderhoud
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pliers.
- Schoonmaak: After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or wire fragments. For stubborn grime, a mild solvent can be used, ensuring it does not damage the handle material.
- Smering: Breng periodiek een kleine hoeveelheid lichte machineolie aan op de draaipunten en bewegende onderdelen om een soepele werking te garanderen en roestvorming te voorkomen.
- Opslag: Store the pliers in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Inspectie: Regularly inspect the jaws for wear, damage, or misalignment. Ensure the cutting edges are sharp and free from nicks.
7. Probleemoplossing
Als u problemen ondervindt met uw tang, raadpleeg dan de volgende veelvoorkomende problemen en oplossingen:
| Probleem | Mogelijke oorzaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
| Wire insulation not stripping cleanly. | Incorrect tension setting; dull jaws; wrong wire gauge. | Adjust tension screw; inspect jaws for wear; ensure correct wire gauge is used. |
| Wire conductor is nicked or cut during stripping. | Too much tension; incorrect wire gauge; wire not centered. | Reduce tension; verify wire gauge; ensure wire is centered in jaws. |
| Pliers feel stiff or difficult to operate. | Gebrek aan smering; vuil/resten in het mechanisme. | Clean pliers and apply light machine oil to pivot points. |
| Wire cutter is not cutting effectively. | Dull cutting edge; attempting to cut material too hard for the tool. | Inspect cutting edge for damage; ensure only appropriate wires are cut. |
