How to use

Select the correct orientation for internal or external circlips and position the plier tips into the ring holes or notches. Apply steady pressure on the handles to expand or compress the circlip as required, then carefully remove or place the ring onto the shaft or bore. Maintain control of the tool to avoid sudden release; work with appropriate eye protection and a secure workpiece to prevent components from moving during the operation.

Recommendations

For long service life, clean the pliers after use, keep the pivot joint free of debris, and apply light lubrication to moving parts when necessary. Use the correct tip engagement and do not apply excessive force beyond the tool's intended function; replace the pliers if tips become worn or damaged to maintain safe and accurate operation.
