How to use

Position the wire or component lead between the cutting edges as close to the pivot as practical for the cleanest cut. Keep a firm, but not excessively forceful grip on the handles and close them smoothly to sever the material. For repetitive cutting tasks, maintain a consistent hand position to preserve control and accuracy. Avoid using the pliers on hardened steel or materials beyond the recommended thickness to prevent premature wear of the cutting edges.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edges for nicks or dulling and clean the tool after use to remove debris. Apply light machine oil to the pivot if movement becomes stiff. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion and use them only for cutting and trimming tasks appropriate for diagonal pliers to maximize service life.
