Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These pliers are ready for immediate use. Ensure the tips are clean and free from debris before engaging with a circlip.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for internal circlips within the 8mm to 13mm bore diameter range, conforming to DIN ISO 5256C specifications. They are not designed for external circlips or other fastening types.
Care:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the pliers clean with a dry cloth to remove any oil, grease, or metal filings. For stubborn dirt, use a lightly dampened cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment to prevent rust. Avoid storing with other metal tools that could scratch or damage the handles or tips.
- Lubrication: Periodically, a light application of lubricating oil on the pivot point can ensure smooth operation. Use a rust-preventative oil for long-term storage.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the tips for any signs of wear or damage. Check the plastic coating on the handles for integrity.
