Using this Klein ratcheting PVC cutter is a piece of cake. First, just hold the cutter with one hand and position the PVC pipe you want to cut in the jaws of the cutter. Then, start squeezing the handles. Thanks to the ratcheting action, you can make the cut with just one hand, even if the pipe is a bit tough. When you're done cutting and need to release the blade, it's a quick one - hand operation.
Now, for the important stuff. Always wear safety glasses when using this cutter to protect your eyes from any flying debris. Also, make sure the PVC pipe is properly placed in the cutter before you start cutting to ensure a straight and clean cut.
To keep your cutter in good shape, after each use, wipe it down with a clean cloth to remove any dirt or debris. If you notice the blade getting dull, you can easily change it without needing any extra tools. Just use the replacement blade (Cat. No. 50032) and pin (Cat. No. 50033) when needed. Store the cutter in a dry place to prevent rusting.
