Using the Klein D213-9NE pliers is straightforward. Just hold the plastic-dipped handles firmly and use the jaws to grip or cut materials like #8 AWG copper, aluminum, and other soft metals. The high-leverage design gives you more cutting and gripping power, so you don't have to apply too much force. When cutting wire, the unique handle tempering will help reduce the shock. For maintenance, keep the pliers clean after use. You can wipe them with a dry cloth. Avoid using them in wet or extremely corrosive environments as the pliers are not insulated. If the jaws get dull over time, you may need to have them sharpened professionally. Also, check the hot-riveted joint regularly to make sure it's in good condition and there's no handle wobble. With proper use and care, these pliers will serve you well for a long time.
