Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility
These inserts are strictly compatible with Knipex models 81 11 250 and 81 13 250. Attempting to force them onto other pliers may result in the inserts breaking or falling off during operation.
Setup Instructions
- Ensure the steel jaws of your Knipex pliers are clean and free of debris.
- Align the plastic insert with the jaw profile.
- Press firmly until the insert clicks or seats securely into the designated slots on the pliers.
- Check that the inserts are flush before applying force to your work piece.
Care and Maintenance
To prolong the life of your inserts, wipe them down with a clean, dry cloth after each use. Store the pliers in a dry environment and avoid using the plastic jaws on extremely sharp or jagged metal edges, which can gouge the plastic. If the inserts become flattened or damaged over time, replace them to maintain consistent performance and surface protection.
