Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Teng Tools MB442-8T Side Cutters require no setup; they are ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: These side cutters are generally compatible with most common materials such as soft wires, plastic, and nylon. They are not designed for cutting hard metals, thick cables, or hardened steel.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the cutters clean with a dry cloth to remove any debris or dust. For stubborn residue, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot joint to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust. Wipe away any excess oil.
- Storage: Store the side cutters in a dry environment, preferably in a tool box or pouch, to protect them from moisture and damage.
- Avoid Overuse: Do not use these cutters for tasks they are not designed for, such as cutting hard wire or prying, as this can damage the cutting edges and compromise their performance.
