How to use

Position the hose between the cutting blades at the intended cut point, apply steady pressure on the handles until the hose is severed, and check the cut end for a clean, even edge. For hoses clamped with spring band clamps, release the clamp tension before cutting and ensure the hose is supported to avoid deformation. After cutting, deburr or trim any uneven edges if required for a proper seal with the clamp.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Ensure the pliers are kept clean and free of debris; store in a dry place to maintain blade condition. Replace the tool if blades become damaged or do not produce clean cuts.
