Procedure for Removing an Alligator® Ready Set™ Staple from a Laced Belt End
In the event of a misfired staple there may be the need to remove a single Alligator® Ready Set™ Staple from the laced belt end. To do so:

- Using the Flexco Belt Nippers cut the back side of both loops on the fastener to be removed.
