Are these snips made in Germany?

How do I maintain the snips?

What should I do if the snips are not cutting cleanly?

Check the cutting edges for damage, ensure the screw joint is properly adjusted, and clean and lubricate the blades.

Can I cut very thick metal with these snips?

No, these snips are designed for specific materials and thicknesses. Exceeding these limits may damage the tool.

How do I adjust the screw joint?

If the joint is too loose, tighten the screw. If it's too tight, loosen it slightly.

Troubleshooting

Snips are not cutting cleanly or are creating burrs.

Check the cutting edges for damage or wear. Ensure the screw joint is properly adjusted. Clean and lubricate the blades. If the problem persists, the blades may need sharpening or replacement.

Snips are difficult to open and close.

Check the spring catch for proper function. Clean and lubricate the joint and pivot points. Ensure the handles are not obstructed.

Snips are slipping on the material.

Ensure the material is within the snips' specifications. Apply more pressure while cutting and maintain a consistent cutting angle. Replace the snips if the cutting edge is damaged

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

No specific setup is required; the snips are ready to use out of the box. Ensure the screw joint is properly adjusted for optimal cutting performance. If the joint feels too loose, tighten the screw; if it's too tight, loosen it slightly. Check the spring catch to ensure it functions correctly.
