• Check the spring mechanism to ensure it is functioning properly for easy opening and closing.

Using the Pliers

1. Identify the material you need to cut, ensuring it is suitable for use with side cutting pliers.
2. Open the pliers by squeezing the handles lightly to release the spring mechanism.
3. Position the cutting edge of the pliers around the material you wish to cut.
4. Apply pressure on the handles to close the pliers and cut through the material.
5. Release the handles to allow the spring mechanism to open the pliers for the next cut.

After Use

• Clean the pliers to remove any debris or material residue.

Maintenance
