Using the Klein Tools 11049 is quite straightforward. For wire stripping, first, identify the wire gauge and match it with the markings on the tool. Place the wire in the appropriate slot and squeeze the handles to strip the insulation. To cut the wire, simply position it at the cutting edge and apply pressure. When looping or bending the wire, use the dedicated holes on the tool. Remember, this tool is not for cutting steel wire or bolts as it may damage the tool. To keep it in good condition, clean it regularly with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals. If the tool gets wet, dry it thoroughly to prevent rusting due to its black - oxide finish. With proper use and maintenance, your Klein Tools 11049 will serve you well for a long time.
