Cortacables Bosch 1600A02NF4 — capacidad de corte 20 mm, herramienta manual para alambre y cable

The Bosch 1600A02NF4 cable cutter is a manual hand tool designed for cutting round and multi-core cables with an outer diameter of up to 20 mm. Its compact design and hardened cutting blades provide clean, controlled cuts with minimal deformation of the conductor or insulation. The tool is lightweight and suitable for use on site, in electrical installation tasks, maintenance work, and various DIY applications where precise cable preparation is needed.

Advantages

The hardened steel cutting blades maintain sharpness and resist chipping, delivering consistent, precise cuts. Ergonomically shaped handles offer secure grip and improved handling during repeated cuts, while the compact size allows work in confined spaces. The mechanical design reduces the force required from the user, enabling accurate manual cutting without the need for power. Minimal crushing of insulation and conductor geometry helps preserve cable integrity for reliable connections.

Suitable for

• Cutting single-core and multi-core electrical cables up to 20 mm diameter
• On-site electrical installation and maintenance
• Preparing cables for connectors, terminals and conduit entry
• DIY electrical and home improvement projects

Key specifications

• Maximum cutting capacity: 20 mm outer diameter
• Tool type: manual cable and wire cutter
• Blade material: hardened steel for wear resistance
• Design: compact hand tool suitable for confined spaces
• Operation: single-handed manual cutting with ergonomic handles

How to use

Position the cable between the cutting blades at the desired cutting point, ensuring the conductor and insulation are aligned for a straight cut. Squeeze the handles evenly until the blades fully close and the cable is severed. For thicker cables near the 20 mm limit, apply steady pressure and, if necessary, rotate the cable slightly to complete the cut evenly. Inspect the cut end and, if required, remove any burrs or stray strands before terminating or crimping.

Recommendations

Use the cutter only for cables within the specified diameter to avoid damage to the blades. Keep the cutting edges clean and dry; occasional sharpening or professional blade replacement will maintain cutting performance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves when cutting live or insulated cables, and ensure power is isolated before cutting conductors.
