Quick question about my new wheeled nippers-my 1st time usin

Barnhill, OH

You mosaic artists create such beautiful work. I've been lurking here and have started my first project. I ordered my wheeled nippers and used them today for the first time. I really like what they do! It's amazing how easy it is to nip away. But I noticed something right away that I thought might not be right about them.

When I put the glass between the wheels and squeeze enough to hold it but not break it, the glass goes a little sideways, not straight in 90 degrees. I looked to see what is causing this, and I discovered one wheel is slightly sticking out further than the other. The blades aren't meeting exactly together. I don't know if it can be adjusted with an allen wrench or not? I cut quite a few pieces and the cuts, for the most part are not straight. They kind of have a wobble edge (I'm cutting about 3/4" squares for the most part. I really want them to have a straight edge. Is it the nippers and do you know if I can adjust them or not?
