Maintenance:

To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Clean Regularly: After each use, clean the wrench to remove dirt, grease, and debris. This prevents build-up that can affect the wrench’s performance.
• Lubricate: Periodically apply a light coat of oil to the threads and moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Inspect: Regularly check the wrench for signs of wear or damage, particularly on the jaws and threads, and replace any worn parts if necessary.
• Store Properly: Store the wrench in a dry place to avoid exposure to moisture and prevent rusting. Keeping it in a toolbox or on a pegboard in a climate-controlled environment is ideal.

Installation and Operation:

1. Adjust the Jaw: Turn the adjusting nut to open the jaw to the desired size, fitting it snugly around the pipe. Ensure the pipe fits securely without excessive force.
2. Position the Wrench: Place the wrench handle at a comfortable angle for turning the pipe. The handle should be positioned to allow maximum leverage without straining your hand or wrist.
3. Apply Force: Use the handle to apply force and turn the pipe. The jaws will grip the pipe securely, preventing slippage. Apply steady, even pressure to avoid damaging the pipe or the wrench.
4. Release: Once the pipe is turned or held in the desired position, turn the adjusting nut to release the pipe and remove the wrench. Ensure the wrench is fully released before attempting to move it to avoid injury.
