In our daily life, we often use a variety of tools.But we often do not think how to use in the process of use is correct, did not think how to go to the beneficial maintenance of them, generally we are to follow the heart of the way to operate.So what can we do to extend the life of these tools?Here are a few tips on how to use bolt cutters properly and how to maintain them.
As is known to all, bolt cutters are used to cut wires, as a manual tool to cut all kinds of wires, in the electrical construction is mainly used to cut the steel core aluminum strand, steel strand, insulation wire, etc..
1. Use of bolt cutters
It is strictly prohibited to use beyond the range or overload.All kinds of hand tools have different strength rating, when using tools should rationally choose according to actual need specifications, generation in small to big, not shear stiffness is greater than the bolt cutter blade, lest cause collapse edge blade or, more may not treat it as an ordinary steel tool instead of other tools to use, in order to avoid damage due to overload fracture and its deformation.For example, SATA93506 type bolt cutters use instructions, its maximum shear capacity is: low carbon steel diameter of 13mm, medium carbon steel diameter of 10mm, shall not be used to shear medium carbon steel hardness more than HRC35, high carbon steel, or exceed the limit of the maximum shear capacity.
2. Maintenance of bolt cutters
In addition to the easy damage of the cutting edge, the most common problem of bolt cutters is that the two blades are misaligned or cannot be closed completely, resulting in difficult shearing. In fact, this is not tool deformation or damage, just adjust the corresponding bolts can be.Take the model SATA93506 bolt cutters as an example. Loosen the nut about once (360°), rotate the screw to align the jaw, rotate the arrow on the screw inward, and then tighten the nut with the clamp head.In addition, the following points should be noted: (1) Do not throw high to avoid damaging the tool;(2) In the process of using the spring, tooth groove in time to clear the dirt and other debris;(3) Bolts should be tightened in time, and the rotating part should be lubricated in time.
