Troubleshooting

|---|---|---|
| Jaws do not close properly. | Debris in mechanism, bent components. | Inspect jaws for obstructions and clear them. If components are bent, discontinue use. |
| Object slips from jaws. | Insufficient grip, slippery object, worn rubber grippers. | Ensure a firm squeeze on the trigger. Clean rubber grippers. Avoid lifting objects beyond the tool's capacity. |
