SAFETY BLOCKS
Each tool is supplied with a set of 2 Safety Blocks. The
Safety Blocks have been designed with steps that match
the spreading distance of the SWi tools.

STEPPED BLOCKS
The SWi Range of Flange Spreader tools are supplied
as standard with a pair of Stepped Blocks. These can

the effective jaw thickness and therefore the maximum
spreading distance.
Use of the Stepped Blocks also enables the SWi Flange
Spreaders to be used in a joint with a larger access gap.
Wedge protrusion can be minimised by the use of Stepped
Blocks, reducing the penetration into the joint. This
enables, for example, spectacle blinds to be changed.
Attach the stepped block to the tool using the M6 counter-
sunk screw. Use the hex-key supplied to tighten the
screw into the threaded hole in the jaw of the tool. Repeat
for second Stepped Block to further increase the effective
jaw thickness if required.
