The molded insulation meets or exceeds ASTM F1505-16 and IEC 60900:2012 standards for insulated tools. Cutting knives are induction hardened for long life.WARNING Only use tools that are marked with the official international 1000-volt rating symbol shown above, if there is any chance that the tools will make contact with an energized source. Whenever possible, always de-energize lines and equipment prior to working on or around them. Klein insulated tools are designed only to reduce the chance of injury where the tool may make contact with an energized source.
