1. Insert the Calibration Bar into the
tool as shown. Ratchet the Pinch
Tool to the closed position and
hold. Use the Calibration Tool to
gauge the jaw gap. Ideally, the jaw
gap should be between 0.8 mm
and 1.2 mm. If the 1.2 mm side of
the gauge slides into the gap, then
the jaw space is too large. If the
0.8 mm side of the gauge cannnot
slide into the gap, then the jaw
space is too narrow.
2. To adjust the jaw gap, turn the
Pinch Tool on its side and locate
the locking screw positioned
on the handle. Use a standard
screwdriver to loosen the locking
screw. Locate the adjustment
screw. Turn the adjustment screw
right or left as needed to change
the size of the jaw gap. When
adjustment is complete, tighten the
locking screw.
