- Select the Right Tool for the Job:
- Ensure you are using the appropriate size and type of diagonal cutting pliers for the task at hand.
- Inspect the Tool:
- Before use, inspect the pliers for any damage, such as bent or damaged jaws. Do not use damaged tools.
- Proper Hand Placement:
- Keep your hands behind the cutting edges to avoid injury. Never place your fingers in the path of the cutting jaws.
- Secure Workpiece:
- Secure the material you are cutting in a stable position to prevent it from slipping or moving during the cutting process.
- Cut at the Proper Angle:
- Use the pliers at the recommended cutting angle. Cutting at an angle other than the intended direction may result in poor performance and increased risk of accidents.
