How to use

Open the plier jaws and place them around the object to be gripped. Operate the ratchet adjustment to select the jaw position that provides a firm engagement without overclamping. Apply steady pressure on the handles to perform turning, holding or pulling actions. To release, reduce handle pressure and move the adjustment to free the object. Use appropriate hand positioning and controlled force to avoid damage to the workpiece and to ensure operator safety.

Usage recommendations

For best results, select a jaw position that allows the widest contact area on the workpiece and avoid using excessive force on delicate fittings. Regularly inspect the gripping surfaces for wear and keep the adjustment mechanism clean and lightly lubricated. Wear suitable hand protection during prolonged use and store the plier in a dry place to maintain the Black Line finish.
