Guide compressor through the lower jaw and up into the upper jaw, when the compressor has passed through the upper jaw turn the
body through approx 50° so it locates in the locking grooves on the jaw FIG.3.
4.6. Using a 19mm hex socket, begin to turn the hexagonal drive nut until the jaws are firmly in contact with the spring.
