Troubleshooting

Snips are not cutting cleanly.

Check if the material is within the snip's capacity (up to 18 gauge steel). Ensure the blades are clean and free of debris. Make sure you are cutting with the correct cutting edge.

Handles are difficult to squeeze.

Make sure you are not trying to cut material that is too thick. Check for any obstructions in the hinge mechanism and clean if necessary. If the issue persists, the snips might need lubrication at the hinge.

Snips are not latching properly.

Inspect the latch mechanism for any damage or obstructions. Clean the latch and surrounding area. If the issue persists, the latch may need adjustment or replacement.
