How to use

Select the correct pliers orientation for external or internal rings and position the straight tips into the ring holes or ends. Apply steady pressure to expand or compress the ring as required, then carefully remove or install the ring on the shaft or bore. Maintain control of the tool and ring during the operation to avoid loss or damage. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as eye protection, when working with retaining rings under tension.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, inspect tips before use for wear or damage and avoid using the pliers on parts outside the intended DIN sizes. Clean and lightly lubricate pivot joints periodically and store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Replace the tool if tips become deformed or worn beyond safe tolerances.
