Troubleshooting

Pliers won't lock properly.

Adjust the knurled screw to the appropriate jaw opening size. Ensure that the locking mechanism is clean and free of debris.

Workpiece slips during use.

Readjust the pliers for a tighter grip. Check that the jaws are making full contact with the workpiece surface.
