Safety tips
- Pliers should be oiled regularly. A drop of oil at the hinge will lengthen the tool life and assure easy operation.
- When cutting wire with pliers, you should always wear glasses or goggles.
- Don't use pliers for cutting hardened wire, unless specifically manufactured for this purpose.
- Don't expose pliers to excessive heat. This may ruin the tool.
- Don't use pliers as a hammer.
- Don't hammer on the handles. They may crack or break.
- Don't extend the length of plier handles to secure greater leverage.
- Don't use pliers on nuts or bolts. A wrench will do a better job and with less risk of damage to the fastener.
