Jaw / Jaw Die Removal

The tong jaws will often require removal to change jaw size or replace worn jaw die inserts. Support the jaw being removed
from the bottom, and use a wrench to loosen and remove the jaw pivot bolt. Slide the jaw away from the rotary gear towards
the centre of the cage plate assembly, and lift clear of the tong. Repeat for the other jaw. Note that removal process for jaws
with wraparound dies is identical.
Removal and replacement of die inserts:
• Removing the centre keeper screws
• Insert a narrow punch through the slot at the bottom of the jaw groove, and lightly tap the die from the bottom until it loosens
enough to remove
• Reverse the process to install new jaw dies. Do not neglect to reinstall the keeper screws.
