How to use

Position the wire or small part between the side cutting edges close to the jaws for the cleanest cut. Apply steady pressure to the handles while keeping the tool aligned with the workpiece to avoid slipping. For gripping tasks, use the jaws nearer the hinge for stronger hold and toward the tip for finer manipulation. Keep fingers clear of the cutting edges and ensure the workpiece is stable before applying force.

Usage recommendations

Use the pliers for appropriate wire gauges and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the tool’s intended capacity to preserve edge life. Regularly inspect and clean the jaws after use and store in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Wear eye protection when cutting to guard against small flying pieces.
