How To Use

• Open the jaws using the dual adjustment mechanism.
• Position the V-jaw around the workpiece.
• Fine-tune the opening until the jaws sit securely against the surface.
• Check the tool is properly seated before applying pressure.
• Use smooth, controlled force when turning or holding.
• Reposition the jaws if they begin to slip instead of applying excessive force.

Important

Do not use the handles as a hammer or pry bar, do not add extension bars for extra leverage, and avoid using the pliers if the jaw teeth are badly worn or damaged. Keep the jaw teeth and adjustment mechanism clean and store the tool somewhere dry.
