Carefully inspect jaw condition, proper alignment of jaws and all parts,
and possible distortion caused by exceeding safe-load specifications. Grips should
operate smoothly. Spring-loaded grips should lock open with loop handle in "Down"
position and should close automatically with loop handle "Up." The Klein Parallel
Jaw Grip may be tested by opening and closing the jaws by hand, exercising proper
caution. All parts and rivets should be checked for distortion

Note:
Conductors may have a die-grease coating which can deposit on grip jaws. New conductors should be wiped clean before grip application.
Grip jaws should be wiped clean of all grease before use.
Never repair any grip.
Grips that are bent, misaligned, or otherwise distorted should be discarded and replaced.
If there is ever a question about the safe condition of any grip, please contact Klein Tools Customer Service directly

Selecting the Proper Grip
Grip Recommendation
Klein Tools offers a service of recommending the proper grip for a particular application based on a sample of cable.
This service is free of charge. All that we require is a minimum 6-9 foot (2-3 m) length of cable.
If there is ever a question about the safe condition of any grip, please contact Klein Tools at
844.395.3235
or email:
HIsupport@kleintools.com
Three basic factors are needed in order to determine the proper grip for each specific application:
1. Type of wire or cable
2. AWG or MCM (diameter) of wire or cable.
(ACSR, ACSS, AAC, Copper, Steel Strand).
3. Maximum safe load required.
