The Skirt Factory: Assembly Instructions
Step 1 Position the table clamp onto table and screw in the thumb screw snug.
Step 2 Pick up the desired colored rubber collar, moisten the collar and slip it onto the end of the point of the piers. Make sure that the collar is positioned on the end in such a way the the hooked end of the pliers is holding the collar on. (see illustration)
Step 3 Open the pliers far enough to position the lock device into the hole on the pliers handle. (see illustration) Note: If you open the pliers too far, the collar may rupture.
Step 4 Cut the desired length of rubber needed and split it in half lengthwise. Most skirts will be cut at 5 1/2". You can change your color combination to your liking by dividing your rubber in half and using 1/2 of one color  and 1/2 of another color.
Step 5 Slip the rubber through the opened collar, stopping in the middle (see illustration). Remove the skirt from the pliers by the collar. Note: If the rubber is frayed and hard to start, you can fold a cut piece of cardboard over the end of the ribber as a lead on the rubber.
Step 6 Position the skirt with the rubber collar directly in the middle of the pliers (about 3/8" above the locking device). Center the collar and clamp the pliers shut. Obtain the locking device and swing it to lock on the backside of the handle (see illustration).
Step 7 Pick up the pliers and position them in the table clamp. Hold the rubber on the end and stretch. Cut the rubber close to the end in your fingers in a slow steady motion. Remove the pliers and reverse it in the clamp, stretch and cut the opposite end in the same manner. Remove the pliers from the clamp and release the pliers lock (see illustration).
  NOTES: For higher production, the pliers may be modified to open wider by drilling a 9/64" hole below the existing locking hole on handle.
  Skirt Application: Moisten area for better slip.
