Troubleshooting
Cutting edges are dull or not cutting cleanly.
Ensure the tool is being used on appropriate materials. Clean the cutting edges and inspect for any embedded debris. If edges are significantly damaged, the tool may need replacement as resharpening may not be feasible for precision cutters.
Pivot joint is stiff or difficult to open/close.
Clean the pivot area with a cloth to remove any dirt or grime. Apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point and work the handles back and forth to distribute the lubricant. Wipe off any excess oil.
Handle grip feels slippery.
Ensure the TPR grip is clean and dry. If the grip is consistently slippery, check for signs of wear or damage. Avoid exposing the tool to excessive oils or solvents that could degrade the grip material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Teng Tools MB442-8T Side Cutters require no setup; they are ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: These side cutters are generally compatible with most common materials such as soft wires, plastic, and nylon. They are not designed for cutting hard metals, thick cables, or hardened steel.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the cutters clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris or dust. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot joint to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Wipe away any excess oil.
- Storage: Store the side cutters in a dry environment, preferably in a tool box or pouch, to protect them from moisture and damage.
- Avoid Overuse: Do not use these cutters for tasks they are not designed for, such as cutting hard wire or prying, as this can damage the cutting edges and compromise their performance.
