2. Inspect the Tool Before Each Use

    

   • Check the snip for blade sharpness and cracks

   • Avoid twisting the snip during cuts

      

   • Apply even pressure for a clean, controlled cut

      

4. Secure the Material

    

   • Use clamps or a vice to hold sheet metal in place while cutting

      

5. Use the Correct Tool for the Direction

    

   • Use right-cut aviation snips only for right-hand curves and straight lines

      

6. Maintain a Safe Cutting Path

    

   • Keep fingers away from the blades

      

   • Be cautious of springback from the material

      

7. Keep Work Area Clear

    

   • Maintain a clean workspace to avoid tripping or interference while cutting
