How to use

Place the wire as close to the pivot point as possible to achieve the best cutting force. Squeeze the handles with a steady motion until the cutting edges pass through the material. For cutting thicker or tougher wire such as piano wire, use controlled, even pressure and ensure the workpiece is secured. Avoid using the pliers on hardened parts not intended for cutting to prevent damage to the cutting edges.

Recommendations

Regularly clean and lightly lubricate the pivot joint to maintain smooth operation. Store the pliers in a dry place and avoid exposing them to corrosive environments. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting wires to protect eyes and hands.
