Jaws not cutting cleanly
Ensure the jaws are properly adjusted for the material size and that the pivot bolt is tight. Check jaws for any damage or dullness.
Handles feel stiff
Clean the pivot point and apply a light lubricant. Check for any debris caught in the mechanism.
Difficulty cutting thicker materials
Ensure the jaws are fully engaging the material and that maximum leverage is being applied. Verify the material is within the cutters' capacity.
