Make sure the tool is perpendicular to the
pipe during squeeze-off.
7. Close the handles until the tool goes over center

Squeeze-off is complete when the handles
close against the stop and the notch in the
Locking Bar
snaps over the pin.
8. Place a lock-out/tag-out or optional security lock-
ing pin (accessory part #TCSP) through the holes
in the
Tool Link
to prevent accidental release of
the tool during service operations.

9. When it is safe to remove the tool from the pipe,
disengage the
Safety Locking Bar
, move the
Quick Release Pin
from the hole marked “LOCK“
to the hole marked “UNLOCK“ and remove any
lock-out/tag-out devices. Open the handles slowly
and take the tool off the pipe.

If recommended, re-round the pipe ac-
cording to instructions provided by the
manufacturer. Mark the location to avoid a
future squeeze at the same location.
