How to use

Use the gripping zones to hold flat or round material securely while positioning the pliers for cutting or bending. For cutting, place the conductor close to the base of the cutting edges and apply steady pressure until the wire is severed. The long cutting edges provide capacity for thicker cables; ensure the cable fits within the jaw length before applying force. Maintain a firm grip on the handles to control movement and avoid twisting the tool during cuts.

Рекомендации по использованию

Store the pliers dry and apply light oil periodically to the joint to preserve the oil-hardened steel. Do not use the cutting edges on hardened steel beyond the specified capacity, and avoid using the pliers as a hammer or pry bar to prevent damage.
