How do I clean the pliers?

Troubleshooting
Wire not stripping cleanly.
Ensure you are using the correct stripping profile for the wire gauge. If the issue persists, the stripping blade may be worn and need sharpening or replacement.
Cutting cables is difficult.
Make sure you are not exceeding the tool's maximum cutting diameter. Ensure the cutting blades are clean and free of debris.
The pliers are difficult to open and close.
Clean and lubricate the joint with a light machine oil. Check for any obstructions or debris that may be interfering with the movement.
