The shears are ideal for cutting thin sheets of soft metals or steel. They are not suitable for round or angular metal shapes such as wire. Cutting tools should only be used manually and without additional aids. When working, safety goggles and gloves are essential, as cut pieces can cause injuries. Improper use can result in personal injury or property damage. When working on electrical devices, the connection to the power source must be interrupted to avoid electric shocks. The cutting direction of scissors and knives should always be directed away from the body. Cutting tools should always be stored with the blades closed in a visible location, with the handle facing you. Store cutting tools separately to protect the blades and your fingers. Regularly sharpening cutting tools is important, as dull tools pose a higher risk of injury and require more force for the same cutting performance.
