Malco FCSR, Fiber Cement Siding Snip Operating instructions

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Fiber Cement Snip SL12426 Instruction Sheet. This document outlines how to make both straight and curved cuts using the tool, specifying the correct way to hold the snips for each type of cut. I am ready to answer questions about its operation and features.
  • How should I position the snip when cutting straight lines?
    How do I cut circular patterns with the snip?
    What is the purpose of angling the blades for circular cuts?
Cutting Circular patterns
Snip should be held with the blades at an angle to the fiber cement plank to allow it the maneuverability required to cut arcs and circles.
Also See figure (B).
Cutting Straight Lines
The lower jaws of the Fiber Cement Snip should be flush with the bottom of the fiber cement plank while cutting straight lines.
Also See figure (A).
