Check for debris or obstructions around the pivot point and blades. Clean thoroughly and apply a light lubricant to the pivot.
Cutting performance is poor or uneven
Ensure the anvil blade is clean and free from any material residue. The blade may need sharpening or replacement if consistently performing poorly.
