Using the Klein K12065CR is a breeze. When you need to strip wires, select the appropriate hole on the wire stripper for the wire gauge you're working with. Just insert the wire and squeeze the handles. For cutting, place the wire between the long knives of the side - cut design and apply pressure. When it comes to crimping, put the non - insulated connector, lug, or terminal with the 10 - 20 AWG stranded wire into the crimper part and press firmly. To twist wires, use the knurled jaw. You can twist up to three wires at once by inserting them and turning the tool. As for maintenance, keep it clean after each use. Wipe off any dirt or debris with a dry cloth. Occasionally, you can apply a light coat of lubricant to the moving parts to ensure smooth action. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent rust. And remember, don't use it for tasks beyond its specified capacity, like trying to cut or strip wires with a gauge outside the 8 - 18 AWG solid or 10 - 20 AWG stranded range, as it may damage the tool.
