How to use

Select a jaw position that matches the diameter of the part to be gripped and place the jaws square to the workpiece. Squeeze the handles to close the jaws until contact is secure, then apply steady turning force to tighten or loosen the fastener. For pipework, position the jaws on a clean section to avoid slipping; for delicate surfaces use controlled pressure and adjust the grip incrementally. After use, clean off dirt and lubricate the joint if needed to maintain smooth adjustment.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves and eye protection when working with these pliers. Do not use the tool as a hammer or pry bar. Regularly inspect the jaws and adjustment mechanism for wear; replace the tool if teeth are worn or if adjustment becomes unstable.
