Setup, Compatibility & Care
Using the DM.CP requires no special setup; simply align the jaws with the ears of the spring clamp and apply pressure. Ensure the jaws are centered on the clamp tangs to maintain balanced force. To maintain the tool’s longevity, clean it with a shop rag after use to remove grease, oil, and coolant residue. It is recommended to apply a light machine oil to the pivot point periodically to keep the action smooth. Store the pliers in a dry, organized toolbox drawer away from extreme humidity to prevent surface oxidation.
