WARNINGS
•Always read tool manual before operating.
•Always wear safety glasses while operating or
while in the vicinity of a tool in operation.
•For testing, always cycle tool away from work
to insure proper ring closure. For safety
reasons, an improperly functioning tool must
not be used.
OPERATION
Always handle tool with care:
•Never engage in horseplay.
•Keep others at a safe distance from the tool
while the tool is in operation as actuation
occurs, possibly causing injury. Keep hands and
body away from the jaw mechanism of the tool.
•Never place a hand or any part of body in jaw
mechanism area of tool.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
The employer and/or user must
ensure that proper eye protection is
worn. Eye protection equipment
must conform to the requirements of the American
National Standard Institute, ANSI Z87.1-1979 and
provide frontal and side protection. Eye protection
should be worn by the operator and others in the
work area when loading, operating, or servicing this
tool. Eye protection is required to guard against
possible flying particles and/or debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.
NOTE: Non-side shielded prescription glasses and
faceshields alone do not provide adequate
protection.

back rotating as needed. Attach with (2) #6-19 torx head
screws (#27).
20. Place right housing half (#13) over left housing (#20)

align pin #1 first.)
21. Install (1) #8-32 button head cap screw (#26) into pivot
pin (#19).
22. Carefully turn over tool onto flat surface. Re-assemble
tool with (4) #8-16 torx head screws (#21).
LUBRICATION
1. The D-Ring Hand Pliers are designed with all metal parts
produced from stainless steel to insure long, trouble-free
service with minimal lubrication.
2. Excess oil in the pliers will attract dirt, lint, and the
adhesive material used in collating the fasteners,
preventing smooth operation. When lubrication is used,
always use a good water dispersing lubricating oil into the
tool. (i.e. WD-40). Disassembly is not required to apply
spray lubricant.
3. When servicing or repairing tool use white lithium grease
on all moving parts.
TIPS ON EXTENDING TOOL LIFE
The serviceable life of the D-Ring Hand Pliers can be extended
greatly by using the following guidelines:
1. Always use Stanley Fastening Systems brand fasteners.
Never replace worn or broken parts with anything other
than genuine Stanley Fastening System parts. Generic
fasteners may shorten the life of your hand pliers and will
void the manufacturer’s warranty.
2. Keep your pliers clean and dry.
3. Exercise caution not to drop equipment. Pliers dropping
onto the floor or ground is a primary reason for parts
replacement.
4. Under normal use occasionally spray a water dispersing
lubricating oil into the tool.
HELPFUL HINTS FOR FIELD SERVICE TOOL JAMS
1. The most common reason for jamming problems in the
hand pliers is insufficient pusher spring tension. This
occurs when the tool is forced to function when ring
quantity is not sufficient. This tool is not designed to
empty its magazine during operation. Reload when the
pusher makes contact with the tunnel in the housing.
2. If a jam occurs, pull pusher back to the locked position and
pull rings out of jaw mechanism area. Point nose of tool
down while holding onto rings, cycle tool slowly.
Operator may need to shake pliers to assist the ring(s) in
falling out. This should force jammed ring(s) out of jaw
mechanism.
3. If procedure “2” does not clear the tool, lay tool on a clean
flat surface with magazine side up. Remove jammed rings
from between the jaws with a small screw driver. Remove
build up of dirt, lint, and any other foreign debris and
check for worn or damaged parts.
4. If jamming still occurs, disassemble and inspect pliers for
worn or damaged parts.
5. Replace worn or damaged parts to keep tool operating
properly.

IMPORTANT HELPFUL HINTS IN OPERATING TOOL
1. Take care when pulling the pusher back. If pulled too far or too hard, the pusher can be pulled out of the guide channel.
2. If the tape on the collated rings tails, the operator must not try to remove the extra tape. The pulling action to remove tape will cause
the next ring to jam.
3. The power handle should be released as rapidly as possible. Operating the tool this way will allow the tool to function at its optimum
performance. When handle is released slowly the jaws may not return to home position and jamming may occur.
4. Do not force the actuation of the tool when jammed, this may cause damage to the tool.
RING DOES NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY
1. Check for foreign debris in the jaw area. This is especially true in the area between the housing and rollers.
2. The jaws may be worn from extended use, replacing the jaw(s) is recommended.
3. When the tool is used in corrosive applications, a water dispersing lubricating oil should be applied on a regular basis to the jaw pins
and rollers. Unlubricated and/or corroded jaw pins may cause the tool to function poorly.
FEEDING PROBLEMS
1. If rings do not feed smoothly down the magazine, check pusher spring for tension. If the magazine is covered with dirt from field
use, clean the magazine and apply a light coating of water dispersing lubricating oil. If magazine is worn or damaged, replace it.
2. When rings feed properly on the magazine but do not feed into the jaws without spitting out of the magazine side of the tool, or if the
rings sit in the jaw grooves on an angle, check jaws to insure freedom of movement.
3. If jaws do not open completely allowing the next ring to enter jaws, check the jaw open spring for wear or need of replacement.
4. If jaws do not return to the fully retracted position,, check the condition of the jaw return springs.
5. NEVER USE LOOSE RINGS IN THE RINGER9/16.
6. Use only Stanley Fastening Systems rings designed specifically for the Ringer9/16.
