Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These side cutters require no initial setup. They are ready for use directly out of the packaging. Ensure the blades are clean before first use.
Compatibility: The T3766DEF110 are specifically designed for cutting cables and wires, particularly in electronics applications due to their ESD-compliant handles. They are compatible with most common electrical wire insulation materials. Avoid using them for cutting hard metals, screws, or thick, unshielded cables, as this may damage the induction hardened blades.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades and handles with a dry, soft cloth to remove debris and oils. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the box joint to ensure smooth operation. Wipe away any excess oil.
- Storage: Store the cutters in a dry place, preferably in a protective pouch or case, to prevent rust and damage to the cutting edges. Ensure they are closed when stored.
- ESD Compliance: Maintain the ESD compliance by ensuring the handles are not damaged and that the tools are used in appropriate environments.
