Check that the metal brake (No. 9a) has been released and is pressing firmly on the metal, and not on the red wedge.
Check that the metal is not damaged or deformed. If so, remove the damaged piece.
Check the quality of the metal brake: take pliers, squeeze the metal strip at the wire box, and try to remove the metal; it should be held by the brake and should not retract. If it isn't, you can tighten the brake spring, sharpen the metal brake, or replace it..
Check that the cardboard tube of the ball has been removed and that the yarn starts from the center of the ball.
Check that the wire is sufficiently taut when attaching: the nylon screw (No. 21) should compress it slightly.
You can change the wire cutter.
Apply more pressure to the wire feed by tightening the nylon screw (No. 21).
When tying, close the clamp so that the thread pusher (No. 11) passes close to the attached object; you will have thus unwound a minimum of thread around the product.
Play with the quality of the thread: PEGN thread tightens more than standard thread, which tightens more than fine thread.
The Attalink pliers are built to last. To reduce wear, it is important to regularly oil the moving parts of the pliers (see instruction manual). If this regular maintenance is performed, the parts you may need to replace are:
- The wire cutter (part no. 4)
- The thread pusher pin (part no. 17A for 3A and 6-17 for 6A)
- The control slide shaft for the wire pusher (part no. 22 for 3A, no. 6-22 for 6A)
- The central axis (part no. 10)
