How to use

Position the pliers so the material to be cut or gripped sits between the appropriate gripping zone or cutting edges. Apply steady pressure on the handles to cut wire or to bend and hold flat or round components. For thicker cables, use the extended cutting edge area to ensure a clean cut. Keep fingers clear of the cutting zone and maintain a firm grip on the handles while working.

Recommendations

Regularly inspect the cutting edges and gripping zones for wear. Keep the pliers clean and lightly oiled to prevent corrosion. Do not use the tool on live electrical circuits and avoid levering or hammering with the pliers to prevent damage.
