- The tool is shipped with the CUTTING end inside the handle. You are
- apparently using the NON-CUTTING end. Loosen the big screw near the
- blade, pull the blade out, swing it around, push it back in, and
- tighten the screw. You will see that one side of the blade now has a
- sharp ridge that will trim the copper wire. It will be obvious which
- way to hold the tool (you do not want to cut the business end of the
- wire, but rather the excess).
