How to use

Position the side-cutting pliers so the wire or component is seated close to the pivot and align the cutting edges with the intended cut point.

For repetitive cutting tasks, reposition the material as needed and check the cutting edges regularly for wear. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting metal or insulated cables.
