Troubleshooting
Tips are difficult to insert or remove
Ensure the plier jaws are fully open and clean any debris from the tip slots and jaw ends. Lightly lubricate the tip slots.
Circlip is damaged during installation/removal
Ensure the correct tip angle and plier size are being used. For the 2928-250 model, confirm the regulation stop mechanism is engaged. Apply force smoothly and deliberately.
Pliers feel loose or wobbly
Check that the interchangeable tips are fully seated and locked into the jaws. If the pivot point feels loose, apply a small amount of lubricant.
The regulation stop mechanism is not working (2928-250)
Verify that the mechanism is properly aligned and not obstructed by debris. Consult the specific plier's manual if available for adjustment procedures.
