Practical tips for best results: align the wire with the cutting edge, apply steady pressure straight through the material, and avoid cutting hardened or braided wire beyond the jawβs capacity to preserve edge life. After use, inspect the cutting edges for nicks and wipe away debris to keep the action smooth and accurate over time.
