How to use an olive puller
Before you begin
Prior to use, ensure the pipe is clean, burr and swarf free, and not distorted.

Burrs
Burrs are small chips of metal left over, typically after a piece of metal has been cut, or otherwise shaped.

Swarf
Swarf refers to any sort of excess material (such as: shavings, chippings or filings) from any metal, plastic or wood cutting process.
Swarf is a general term for such chippings and each trade may have its own specific terminology. For example, wood swarf is more commonly known as "sawdust."

An olive puller can only remove 15mm (0.6") and 22mm (0.9") olives. If your olive is smaller or larger than this then you will need the corresponding olive cutters.
Olive cutters come in a range of sizes from 8mm - 28mm (0.3 - 1")

Step 3 - Fit olive puller onto pipe
Fit the olive puller into the 15mm pipe. The 15mm pusher should fit snugly into the pipe and the pusher's shoulder will stop it going any further into the pipe.

Step 4 - Screw body into compression fitting
Screw the 15mm body into the compression fitting nut.

Step 5 - Rotate spindle
Slowly rotate the spindle using the T-bar handle. This will force the spindle down into the body and against the pusher.
As the spindle pushes against the pusher it forces the body to draw up and pull the olive from the pipe. This action is similar to how a corkscrew functions.
