result in an improper seal that could result in extensive
property damage.

2. Pull the jaw set mounting pin to its most open position
(Figure 2).

Check for damage such as cracks in the tool housing

replace individual components except for jaw return
springs. Failure to replace the entire assembly may result
in component failure and serious injury.
