How to use

Position the jaws around the workpiece and squeeze the handles until the required clamping force is achieved. Use the recessed grips on the handle to maintain control and avoid slippage. Apply force progressively and avoid over-torquing the handles beyond normal hand strength. After use, wipe clean and store the tongs in a dry place to protect the hardened tips and prevent corrosion.
