How to use

Position the diagonal pliers so the cutting edges fully enclose the wire at the desired cutting point. Squeeze the handles evenly and firmly until the wire is severed.

Usage recommendations

Use the Knipex 74 06 200 only for cutting wires within its intended purpose; do not use it on hardened fasteners, rivets, or as a hammer. Regularly inspect the cutting edges and hinge for wear, and apply light oil to the joint if necessary to maintain smooth operation.
