Ma clamp a masika nthawi zambiri amapangidwa ndi chingwe chachitsulo cha masika, chodulidwa kotero kuti mbali imodzi ikhale ndi chopingasa chozungulira kumapeto, ndipo mbali inayo ikhale ndi zopingasa ziwiri mbali zonse ziwiri. Kenako malekezero a zopingasa izi amapindika kunja, ndipo chingwecho chimapindika kuti chipange mphete, ndi ma tabu otuluka akulumikizana.

Kuti mugwiritse ntchito chogwirira, ma tabu owonekera amakanikizidwa wina ndi mnzake (nthawi zambiri pogwiritsa ntchito ma pliers), ndikuwonjezera kukula kwa mphete, ndipo chogwirira chimayikidwa pa payipi, kupitirira gawo lomwe lidzapite pa barb. Kenako payipi imayikidwa pa barb, chogwirira chimakulitsidwanso, chimayikidwa pa gawo la payipi pamwamba pa barb, kenako chimatulutsidwa, ndikukanikiza payipi pa barb.

Ma clamp amtunduwu sagwiritsidwa ntchito kawirikawiri pa ma pressure amphamvu kapena ma payipi akuluakulu, chifukwa amafunika chitsulo chochuluka kuti apange mphamvu zokwanira zomangira, ndipo sizingatheke kugwiritsa ntchito pogwiritsa ntchito zida zamanja zokha. Amagwiritsidwa ntchito kwambiri pa ma payipi oziziritsira magalimoto okhala ndi mainchesi angapo m'mimba mwake, mwachitsanzo pa ma Volkswagen ambiri oziziritsidwa ndi madzi.

Ma clamp a masika ndi oyenera makamaka m'malo otsekedwa kapena osamveka bwino komwe mitundu ina ya ma clip ingafunike zida zomangira zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito kuchokera ku ngodya zopapatiza komanso mwina zosafikirika. Izi zapangitsa kuti zikhale zodziwika kwambiri pa ntchito monga ma bay a injini zamagalimoto komanso poteteza kulumikizana kwa barb mu PC-water-cooling.
