How to use

Position the cutter jaws around the bolt, chain link or rod to be cut, ensuring the material sits correctly in the cutting zone. Apply steady force to the handles, using the leverage provided by the 760 mm length to close the blades and complete the cut. For best results, keep the blades aligned with the material and make a single controlled stroke rather than repeated twisting. After use, wipe any metal debris from the blades and store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

Recommendations

Wear appropriate hand protection and eye protection when cutting metal. Inspect blades before each use for damage or excessive wear and avoid cutting hardened or tempered steel beyond the tool's intended capacity. Regularly clean and lightly oil pivot points to maintain smooth operation.
