Apply enough force by pushing or pulling until you feel resistance from the adjacent tooth and when you feel the instrument slightly bend. Do not tip or pivot the instrument as this creates extreme leveraging forces that are unnecessary and reduces the life of the instrument. Experience will quickly dictate the proper amount of force.
