Installation Notes

Lineman pliers are installed and used by licensed electricians and electrical contractors. Always de-energize and lock out circuits before using cutting or gripping tools on conductors, in accordance with NFPA 70E safe work practice guidelines. Inspect the cutting edges before each use and avoid using the tool on conductors or materials that exceed the rated AWG 6 cut capacity, as this can damage the cutting edges or cause injury.
