2. Adjust the wrong opening of the wire-cutting pliers
1. Use the adjusting screw to adjust
Some wire-cutting pliers have an adjustment screw on the jaws, and the misalignment can be adjusted by turning the screw. Open the pliers, find the adjusting screw, and use a screwdriver to turn the screw counterclockwise or clockwise until the error disappears, and the adjustment is completed.
2. Use a file to adjust
If the jaws of your bolt cutters do not have an adjustment screw, you can use a file to adjust them. First, fix the jaws with a plywood, and then use a file to trim the wrong edges until the jaws return to normal.
3. Use grinding discs to adjust
Some wire-cutting pliers can be adjusted using grinding discs, similar to using files, but you need to pay attention to the frequency and intensity, otherwise damage will occur.
3. Precautions for use
1. Be careful when adjusting to avoid hurting your fingers.
2. Pay attention when adjusting and do not adjust excessively, otherwise the pliers will be damaged.
3. After adjustment, test whether the pliers can be used normally.
4. When using wire-cutting pliers, avoid using the wrong opening to avoid aggravating the wrong opening.
In short, when you find that the wire-cutting pliers have a wrong opening, don't throw them away in a hurry. You can restore them to normal use through the above adjustment methods. Of course, in daily use, correct use and maintenance can also extend the service life of pliers.
