Troubleshooting

Wire not tightening effectively

Ensure the chain is securely hooked around the wire and not slipping. Check that the wire diameter is within the specified range. Ensure the handle is being operated correctly to engage the tensioning mechanism.

Jaws are slipping on the wire

Clean the jaws to remove any dirt or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the wire is properly seated within the jaws. If the wire is excessively smooth or coated, grip may be reduced.

Handle is difficult to operate

Check for obstructions or dirt in the mechanism. Lightly lubricate the moving parts of the strainer. Ensure the wire is not under extreme tension that exceeds the tool's capacity.

Wire is being damaged by the jaws

Ensure the jaws are clean and free of sharp burrs. Do not overtighten the wire. Apply tension gradually and check frequently.
