If you cut a small pice of the end of an wire. It easely fall down..sometimes at the board you working with.. That little metall piece should hold the cut off piece so it don't fall down. A security thing.. Works well if you don't open the cutter over your workplace. Empty it in your hand or something.
Tiny metall cutoffs are not something you want on the run in your electronic stuff..
