Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The WORKPRO Electricians Scissors are ready for immediate use upon unboxing. There is no assembly or setup required.
Compatibility: This tool is primarily designed for use with electrical wiring. The wire stripper is compatible with wire gauges ranging from 10 to 18 AWG (approximately 6.0 to 0.75 mm²). The cable cutting and stripping functions are suitable for common electrical cables within this gauge range.
Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the blades and stripper clean with a dry cloth to remove debris. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly immediately.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of machine oil or WD-40 to the pivot point and blades to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Storage: Store the scissors in a dry environment. Avoid exposure to excessive moisture or corrosive substances.
- Avoid Overload: Do not use the tool for tasks beyond its intended capacity, such as cutting thick metal wire or hardened materials, as this can damage the blades.
