securedwithretainingrings.
2. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and allow
them to open freely. If they do not open quickly and
fully, the spring is defective and must be replaced.
3. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage, paying
particular attention to the tool jaws and pivot points.
If tool is acceptable, lubricate and return to service.
4. Check the crimping dies occasionally to make sure
dies are not broken or chipped.
