Installation Notes

Aviation snips are a hand tool requiring no power source or special setup. Always wear cut-resistant gloves when working with sheet metal edges, as freshly cut metal can be sharp. Use the correct snip type for the cut direction to avoid blade binding and material distortion. Inspect blade pivot and spring mechanism before use to ensure full blade travel and clean cuts.
