How do you release the ratchet mechanism if the handles are not depressed all the way?

Yes to the right of the lock button, turn the larger knob to the right you might need to push in on the handles a little to free it up.

There is a knob to the right of the lock button that is used to release the ratchet. The crimp levers must be compressed a bit to take the pre-load off the ratchet mechanism, once this is done the knob can be turned in the direction of the arrow to release the ratchet.

The only way is to depress it all the way.. I normally use two hands using this tool..

Hi if i remember you have to lower the handle down all the way and then either apply the safety or remove the safety. Hope this helps

Twist the black thing in the middle of the handle away from you & push handle forward to collapse

yes, you have to reach the ratchet end to lower it. It has a metal tab you lift to release.

There is a little black button on the side of the handle just in front of the trigger. Hold the trigger and push in the button. To release, depress the trigger again. Hope this answers the problem.

I had to use needle nose pliers to hold one of the bolts on the handle. Adjustable wrench would work too.

The handle was welded together on mine, so I had to sand of the little bit that remained after taking it off. Other than that, if you have the tools you can get it off just fine. Just beware of the welded piece when swinging around. *cough* if you do that.

The handle folds in towards the nozzle and is just brute force to overcome the indent that holds it open. There is no release button. I just tried it to make sure.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Pull back on the lever mounted on the handle so the little arrow below hits the D. Then squeeze the left hand lever and you'll be moving forward. Release and you'll stop. Good luck!

Pull the handle away from the jaws-it has adjustment teeth. Just adjust the clamping pressure, and you're good to go.

You just have to twist the handle to loosen it and then pull up on it . Then twist back. To tighten.

there is a small tiny slot on the inside handle. use a small flat head screwdriver to push into the slot which will release a catch and while holding it in pull the handle off. sometimes it is very tight but be persistent and the handle will come off. then reverse the handle and push back on.

Where the handle attaches to the shaft is a thumb screw. Loosen that and adjust the lever under that. It's easy.

Push down on the handle and you should be able to release the handle from the clips.

Twist the yellow band at end of black rubber on handle. The band has 3 postiions. Leftmost position forward. Middle position locks ratcheting mechanism. Rightmost position for reverse.

There is a tiny hole on the ring just inside the handle. Using the provided 'pin' tool , insert, depress and pull handle at same time. Do both and switch.
