TM 9-243 USING  SLIP-JOINT  PLIERS  -  Continued 3 Adjust pliers (4) to obtain a wide jaw opening. CAUTION Too  much  pressure  could  break  the  cotter pin or spring the plier jaws. 4 Place plier jaws (5) around both bent ends of the cotter pin and apply pressure on the handles, bending cotter pin ends flush. USING DIAGONAL CUTTING PLIERS WARNING WEAR  EYE  PROTECTION.  KEEP FINGERS AWAY FROM JAWS AND CUTTING EDGES. CAUTION Diagonal cutting pliers are to be used only for cutting. NOTE The  following  procedure  for  the  removal  of a  cotter  pin  is  not  the  only  use  of  diagonal cutting pliers. 1 Position cutters so the rounded end (1) of the cotter pin is between the cutting jaws. 2 Close the cutting jaws by applying pressure to the handles  (2).  This  will  shear  off  the  end  of  the  cotter pin (3). 17-4
