Calibration

Do not use the Cinch Tool if it has been damaged, 

as this may result in an improper cinch.

After repeated use of the Cinch Tool, it may require  

calibration. For convenience, a calibration gauge is 

provided in the tool pouch.  Follow these steps when 

calibrating a Watts manual Cinch Tool.

1.  Insert the calibration gauge into the tool as shown. Ratchet the Cinch 

Tool to the closed position and hold. Use the calibration gauge to 

determine the jaw gap. Ideally, the jaw gap should be between 0.8mm 

and 1.2mm. If the 1.2 mm side of the gauge slides into the gap, then 

the jaw space is too large. If the 0.8 mm side of the gauge can not 

slide into the gap, then the jaw space is too narrow.

2.  To adjust the jaw gap, turn the Cinch Tool on its side and locate the 

Phillips screw positioned on the ratchet arm. Use a standard Phillips 

screwdriver to loosen the screw and to adjust the ratchet arm position. 

Turning the arm left or right will change the jaw gap. Tighten screw 

when desired jaw gap is reached.
