Periodic inspection
Regular inspections of the tool should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections must remain with the tool or be supplied to personnel responsible for the tool. Base the inspection
frequency on amount of use, working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company
standards.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all pivot pins are in place and secured with retaining rings.
3. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases and then allow them to open freely. If they do not
open quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must be replaced. See section 6, REPLACEMENT
AND REPAIR.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage, paying particular attention to the jaws and pivot points.
If damage is evident, see section 6, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
If the tool is acceptable, lubricate it and return it to service.
