Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These side cutters require no assembly. They are ready for immediate use out of the box.
Compatibility: Suitable for general-duty cutting tasks involving wires, cables, soft metals, and plastics. Not intended for cutting hardened steel or live electrical wires.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the cutting jaws clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For tougher grime, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly immediately afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the pivot joint to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. A few drops of machine oil or WD-40 are suitable.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a tool roll, toolbox, or a dedicated tool holder to protect the cutting edges and prevent accidental damage.
