on setting #1, close the tool handles fully,
and hold them firmly closed.
2. Insert the appropriately sized GO gage
(Green) member into the insulation cavity,
of the die (Red or Blue) you are trying to
gage (See Figure 3).
3. The GO gage (Green) member should
freely enter the die.

member into the insulation cavity, of the
