Using the Klein 1684 - 5 grip is easy. First, open the locking handle to keep the jaw open. Then, use a hot stick to place the grip on the cable within the recommended diameter range of 0.218 to 0.55 inches. Make sure the cable fits well in the double 'V' grooves for a secure four - point contact. When pulling the wire, ensure that the load does not exceed the maximum safe load of 8000 lb. As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry. Periodically check for any signs of wear, especially on the double 'V' grooves and the locking handle. If you notice any damage, replace the grip to ensure safety and proper function.
