How to use

Hold the MODECO MN-20-226 by the FRIENDLY GRIP handles with the jaw tips aligned to the workpiece. Use the straight jaws to grasp small wires or component leads securely near the tip for bending or positioning. For cutting, position the conductor within the cutting edge close to the pivot and apply steady pressure to complete the cut. After use, clean any residue from the jaws and store the pliers in a dry place to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

Use these pliers for light-duty tasks only; avoid cutting hardened steel wires or overloading the tool beyond its intended small-wire applications. Periodically inspect the cutting edges and pivot for wear, and apply a light lubricant to the pivot if movement becomes stiff. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when working with live wiring or sharp leads.
