Avoid clamping onto very fine leads that may slip out; double-check the grip before powering on. Do not exceed the current rating, and avoid flexing the PVC sleeve near the jaw pivot to prevent tearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Compoden\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing.
