How to use

Position the diagonal pliers so the material to be cut sits close to the pivot to reduce stress on the jaws. Squeeze the handles evenly to produce a clean, controlled cut; avoid twisting the tool while cutting.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses when cutting wire or metal.

Use these diagonal pliers for insulated and non-insulated wires within the tool’s capacity and avoid cutting hardened steel or materials beyond the recommended thickness to prevent premature wear. Store the tool dry and apply light lubrication to the pivot joint periodically to maintain smooth operation.
