Using the Klein J228 - 8 diagonal - cutting pliers is straightforward. Simply hold the pliers by the comfortable dual - material handles. Place the wire you want to cut between the short jaws and squeeze the handles. The high - leverage design will give you 36% more cutting power than regular pliers. When using, make sure to keep your fingers away from the cutting edges. Also, since these pliers are not insulated, don't use them on live electrical wires. For maintenance, after each use, wipe the pliers with a dry cloth to remove any debris. You can apply a little bit of oil to the joint to keep it moving smoothly. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent rusting.
