Care of your ADC® Nylon holster

Your ADC® Responder nylon holster is made from durable 1000D nylon, lined with cushioning
foam. Pocket Organizer is made from 420D nylon.

When soiled, wash by hand in cold water with a mild soap. Never use bleach. Allow holster to air dry.
Never iron over hook & loop fasteners-heat from the iron will damage them.

The instrument pockets might be tight initially, but will stretch within a few weeks. Never overload
nylon holsters as this may damage the seams or cause the nylon to wear prematurely. We recom­mend that you do not put sharp-tipped instruments (such as splinter forceps) inside your nylon hol­ster. If, however, you find it necessary to carry a sharp-tipped instrument, place a protective cover
(such as a plastic pen cap) over the tips.

To convert your snap-on belt loop to a permanent belt loop

if you do not require the convenience of a snap-on belt loop, and instead prefer the security of a per­manent loop you can convert your ADC® nylon holster as follows:

1. Obtain a “super glue” or epoxy at your localm convenience store.

2. Making sure snaps are clean and dry; apply 2 or 3 drops to the male portion of each snap, along
the rim and outer edge.

3. Snap both snaps closed and allow glue to set according to the directions on the glue package.

4. Test that glue snaps hold. If either snap doesn’t hold repeat the process.

Use of your ADC Knife:

Selected holster sets are equipped with the ADTOOL™ multifunction tool or Puma lockback knife.
Both feature blades forged from 440 surgical stainless steel, tempered to a Rockwell hardness of
C57-59.
The ADTOOL™ includes pliers, wire cutters, 2" knife blade, 3 flathead screwdrivers of varying sizes, a
can opener, 2" serrated blade, bottle opener, and Phillips head screwdriver. To use pliers grip handles
from either side, and pry apart fully. To access all other components grip handles from either side and

pry apart. Fully extend the desired component and then close handles to create a secure gripping sur­face.

The Puma 2002™ is a 4” lockback knife with serrated blade. Thumb activation allows one handed
use. It has an integral pocket clip built into the lightweight handle.

To open: Press your thumb against the raised guide on the blade and pivot until it locks.
To close the blade: Depress the metal bar on the back of the knife and push the blade into its

chamber until it clicks.
Care of your ADC Knife: Keep the blade clean and dry. Wipe fingerprints and moisture off after
each use with a soft cloth or chamois. Keep the locking mechanism free of debris. An occasional
drop or two of light oil on working parts will promote smooth operation and long life. Never use knife
blade as a chisel, or to cut metal objects.

Care of your Medicut™ or MiniMedicut™ Shears

Your MedicutTM #320 and MiniMedicutTM #321 shears, are designed to withstand heavy use.
Polypropylene handles, and hardened stainless steel blades assure durability. Never use on thick
metal objects, such as a coin- this will damage blade edge. Keep blades clean and dry to prevent cor­rosion.
To Sterilize: Medicut™ and MiniMedicut™ shears may be ETO gas, or steam sterilized to 289.4° F
(143° C)

Care of your ADC Window Punch (Optional)

Your spring loaded window punch #360 has a lightweight corrosion resistant aluminum barrel with a
knurled finish intended for positive grip.
To Use: Only use on tempered glass. Wear protective clothing. Position point of punch in corner of
window near frame and push until spring releases with a sharp “snapping” sound. Repeat as neces­sary.
To Adjust Strength: Twist rear cap clockwise to increase strength, counterclockwise to decrease
strength.

ADlite™ #356W. To activate, depress pocket clip. Release to turn off.
