Using your Klein 36.5 - Inch Bolt Cutter is easy. First, identify the material you want to cut - it can handle soft, medium, and hard metals. Position the material between the center - cut jaws. For 90 - degree cuts, make use of the flat - ended vinyl grips on the red fiberglass handles. If the cutting edges get misaligned, just make one adjustment to realign them. When using the cutter, make sure the lockplate is in place to prevent the jaw bolts from loosening. Don't try to cut materials harder than its capacity (up to Brinell 300, Rockwell C31 for soft and medium materials and up to Brinell 400, Rockwell C42 for hard materials). After each use, wipe the cutter clean with a dry cloth. Periodically, lubricate the moving parts to keep the cutter working smoothly. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting.
