5. Safety Information
Your safety is paramount. Always handle the multi-tool with care and follow these guidelines:
- Sharp Edges: The knife, serrated knife, and saw blades are extremely sharp. Exercise extreme caution when deploying, using, and folding these tools.
- Safety Lock: The multi-tool is equipped with a locking mechanism to prevent accidental closure during use. Always ensure the blade or tool is fully extended and the liner lock is securely engaged before applying pressure. Failure to do so may result in injury.
- Proper Use: Use each tool only for its intended purpose. Do not force tools or use them as pry bars unless specifically designed for such tasks.
- Children: Keep the multi-tool out of reach of children.
- Cleaning: After use, especially in dirty or wet conditions, clean the tool thoroughly to prevent rust and maintain functionality.
- Scissor Limitations: The scissor function is not suitable for cutting thick materials such as thick tissue paper, thick cardboard, or metal fittings. Using it on such materials may reduce its cutting effectiveness and damage the scissors.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your WORKPRO Multi-tool Pliers, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: After each use, especially when exposed to dirt, moisture, or corrosive substances, clean the tool with a damp cloth. For stubborn grime, use a small brush.
- Drying: Thoroughly dry the tool after cleaning to prevent rust, even though it is rust-resistant.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
- Sharpening: The knife and serrated knife blades may require sharpening over time. Use appropriate sharpening tools and techniques.
- Storage: Store the multi-tool in its protective pouch in a dry environment when not in use.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your multi-tool, consider the following:
- Stiff Tools: If tools are stiff to open or close, apply a small amount of lubricant to the pivot points.
- Tools Not Locking: Ensure the tool is fully extended until you hear or feel the lock engage. If the lock still doesn't engage, check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.
- Reduced Cutting Performance: Clean blades and ensure they are sharp. If the scissors are not cutting effectively, ensure you are not attempting to cut materials beyond their capacity (e.g., thick cardboard or metal).
