CUSTOMER SAFETY NOTICE
The CR 11/22 as supplied to you must only be used with all the guards and safety devices in place
and secure to meet the intended requirements. The safety interlocks must not be tampered with or
overridden in any way. Should any guards, interlock, or other safety device be found to be damaged
or non-operative the machine cannot be used until appropriate repairs have been effected.
DANGER AREAS OF THE MACHINE
When the main guard is open and the machine is in setup mode the power and air are live on the
machine. When the machine is in this state always leave your hands on the two handed controls.
If other personnel are in the area they should never lean over or reach into the machine.
Feed drive – Never place fingers in between the wire feed wheels or belts.
Cutter head - Never place fingers between the blades. The blades are sharp. When changing blades take
care not to touch the sharpened edges.
Pivoting Arms – The arms pivot to and from the cutter head. Keep hands and fingers away from this
motion to avoid collision.
Tail pivot arm
Lead pivot arm
Cutter head

8
Crimping Unit – Never place your fingers in the terminal
applicator. If it is necessary to remove debris use a screwdriver or
similar tool.
Wire pick and place device – Never place your fingers in the
gripper.
Seal Applicator – Never place fingers inside the frame of the seal
applicator.

9
Solder pot – Never touch the solder pot, severe
burns will result. Always wear eye / face protection
and high temperature gloves when servicing the
solder pot.
Wire twister. – Never touch the rotating head of
the twister.
BD-4 burning device – Never the touch the
heated blades, severe burns will result

10
Laser stripper – Never run the laser stripper without the
main guard in position. If the unit is being serviced and
test are being run, always wear Laser safety glasses.
SAFETY INTERLOCKS
All safety guards and interlocks should be tested daily or at the beginning of each shift change. It is
recommended that these checks be documented.
GUARD: Opening the guard will stop the machine and display the warning “Guard Open”. The same
message will appear if the Master Start is pressed with the guard open.
There are two operating switches located around the machine. One is on the side of the infeed station
and one is on the side of the operator station.
Momentarily press the top of the rocker switch to open and again on the bottom to close.
Do not hold the down switch on. The safety re-open feature will not function.

EMERGENCY STOP BUTTONS:
E-Stop Emergency Stop buttons are located at both of the operation stations. When
depressed the machine will not run. Pressing the Master Start will cause a message
to be displayed indicating which button is depressed. To release the Emergency Stop,
rotate the button clockwise slightly. It will pop up.
All electrical enclosures must be kept closed and secured. Only authorized persons with appropriate training
should access these enclosures. In the event that it is required to access electrical enclosures with main
power on, only persons properly trained and familiar with acceptable Safety Regulations may do so.
When performing routine maintenance, adjusting, or cleaning, the machine must be electrically isolated
from the power supply.
Above all else “Think Safety” and insure that the machine is in fact safe.
DAILY SAFETY CHECK

b. The orange master start lights turn off on machine operator stations and on the back of
each crimping unit.
c. The air pressure gauges on the front of the machine go to 0
d. The motors de-energize.
Mechanical checks.
1. Look for any damage to the plastic guard.
2. Make sure all metal guarding is in position and secure. This includes belt covers and chopper
covers.
3. Master start the machine and listen for air leaks.
4. Look for any loose or broken parts
5. Check the main guard obstruction detection.
a. Start lowering the guard.
b. Push up on the guard edge when it is about half way down.
c. The guard should reverse direction and go back up. The amount of force required to
reverse direction should not exceed 25lbs (111N).

SAFETY WARNINGS!!
The following explicit directions apply in this manual. Do not disregard these directions.
WARNING: personal injury may occur-Do not disregard.
CAUTION: Equipment damage may occur.
NOTE: Inconvenience only if disregarded. No immediate danger, damage or personal injury.

General Description
The CR machine is designed for the purpose of cutting electrical wire, stripping the insulation from the
tips of the wire and processing the tips of the wire. This processing can include one or more of the
following items. Crimping a terminal, installing a weather tight rubber seal, twisting the wire strands,
fluxing, or soldering.
After the wire is processed it is accumulated in a collection tray in batches for easy removal by the
operator of the machine.
Limits of Use
The CR machine is intended for use in a dry indoor working environment. The machine cannot be
exposed to liquid spray or mist, damage will result. Safety guarding and circuits should never be
removed or tampered with or injury may result. The electrical cabinets should only be opened by trained
and authorized personnel. Use of this machine for purposes other than those stated in the general
description may result in damage to the machine or personal injury.
