These multi-functional pliers are designed for specific tasks related to MIG/MAG welding torch maintenance. Follow these instructions for optimal performance:

4.1. Cutting Welding Wire

1. Open the pliers and position the welding wire between the designated cutting jaws.
2. Ensure the wire is perpendicular to the cutting edges for a clean cut.
3. Apply firm, steady pressure to the handles to cut the wire to the desired length.

4.2. Cleaning the Gas Nozzle

1. Identify the internal cleaning prongs on the pliers.
2. Insert the prongs into the gas nozzle opening.
3. Rotate the pliers gently while applying slight pressure to scrape away spatter and debris from the inside of the nozzle.

4.3. Removing the Gas Nozzle

1. Locate the gripping teeth designed for nozzle removal.
2. Position these teeth around the base of the gas nozzle.
3. Grip firmly and twist or pull the nozzle off the welding torch, depending on its attachment mechanism.

4.4. Detaching and Tightening the Contact Tip

1. Use the square or hexagonal opening on the pliers, designed to fit the contact tip.
2. To detach, place the opening over the contact tip and rotate counter-clockwise.
3. To tighten, place the opening over the contact tip and rotate clockwise until snug. Do not overtighten.

5. Konserwacja

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your OERLIKON Special Pliers and ensure continued performance.

• Czyszczenie: After each use, wipe down the pliers with a clean, dry cloth to remove any welding spatter, dust, or grime. For stubborn residue, a mild solvent can be used, ensuring it does not damage the material.
• Smarowanie: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot point to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
• Kontrola: Regularly check the cutting edges for sharpness and the gripping surfaces for wear. If the cutting edges become dull, consider professional sharpening or replacement if severely worn.
• Składowanie: Store the pliers in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.

6. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your OERLIKON Special Pliers, consider the following common solutions:

• Pliers feel stiff or sticky: The pivot point may need lubrication. Apply a few drops of light machine oil and work the handles back and forth.
• Difficulty cutting welding wire: The cutting edges may be dull or damaged. Inspect them for nicks or excessive wear. Ensure the wire is positioned correctly.
• Ineffective nozzle cleaning: Ensure the cleaning prongs are fully inserted into the nozzle and rotate the pliers to dislodge spatter. Heavy spatter buildup may require more vigorous cleaning or a specialized nozzle reamer.
• Difficulty gripping or removing parts: Ensure the correct part of the pliers is being used for the specific function (e.g., gripping teeth for nozzle, square/hex opening for contact tip). Verify the nozzle size is within the pliers' specified range (15-18 mm).

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact your supplier or a qualified service technician.
