WARNING: Under no circumstances should the maximum working load be
exceeded. Always use a load cell or other calibrated indicating device to monitor
the line pull on the tong to avoid an overload.
Use on couplings
The jaw has two belt anchoring holes. One hole is marked “PIPE”, when this hole is fixed to
the handle, the tong will latch on the pipe for the appropriate belt. The third hole is marked
“COUPLING”, this hole will allow the tong to be latched onto a coupling with a diameter of
one inch over the pipe diameter.
