How to use

Position the sheet along the cutting edge and apply steady pressure to the handles to perform a single, controlled cut. For best results, align the material so the blade engages evenly along the desired cutting line. Use the chip breaker feature when cutting thicker or longer sections to prevent jamming of cut material. Replace blades as soon as wear affects cutting quality, following the manufacturer's instructions for blade removal and installation.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers within the specified material thickness limits (1.2 mm for metal, 2.0 mm for plastic). Keep blades clean and lightly oiled to maintain performance and prevent corrosion. Inspect blades and tool body regularly and replace blades when dull to ensure clean, deformation-free cuts.
