Operation Method
Grip the handle of a tool lightly to put it into the state of a preliminary that the “ratchet” is
caught of 1-3 teeth.
Set a housing assembly to the tool so that the “cap (3)” may become parallel to the “lower
jaw (4).” At this time, the “wire (2)” installed in the lower jaw is pushed into the interior of
the “U ditch (5).”
Pull the “wire (2)” to the “arrow” direction so that any space should not open between the
“cap (3)” and the “lower jaw (4)” and the wire doesn’t move by one hand, and grasp the
handle until the ratchet comes off by the other hand.
After work, confirm that the cap is surely locked to the housing, and there are neither
damage nor transformations in the housing and the cap.
“Note” The position in which the cap is locked to the housing by the size changes such as the
housing, caps, and wires changes. Therefore, please adjust the ratchet of the tool used
at a proper position before operation start.
