1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING
Tools are NOT insulated for use on or near
energized conductors. Use of these tools
near energized conductors may lead to
electrical shock, causing severe injury or
death. DO NOT use these tools near
energized conductors without adequately
insulating operator and surroundings.
WARNING
Pinch point hazard. Compression Dies at high
force can cause severe personal injury. Keep
all body parts away from moving parts of the
tool during operation.
SAFETY RULES
1.1
1. BE FAMILIAR WITH YOUR TOOL.
Read the instruction manual. Become aware of its proper
usage as well as the potential hazards.

SWITCH OPERATIONS
3.3
1. The indentor extends when the Start Button is pressed and stops when the Start Button is released.
2. To retract the indentor, press the Return Button. The indentor continues to retract while the Return Button is pressed.
3. The compression area within the head is illuminated by LED work lights while the tool is operational.
Start Button
Work Lights
Return Button
1. To attach the Battery, slide it into the rear of the Tool until it stops and the Latches (A) engage. (See g. 1)
2. After inserting the Battery, check that it is securely in place by pulling it gently without pressing the Latches.
3. To detach the Battery, pull out the Battery while pressing the Latches (A). (See g. 2)
4. The battery charge level is displayed when button (B) is pressed. The number of LEDs lit up denotes the relative battery
charge. One ashing LED indicates a maximum charge level of 10%. The battery should be charged soon.

COMPRESSION OPERATION
3.4
1. Insert the battery into the tool (See section 3.2). Observe the green and red LEDs for tool status (See chart below).
2. Refer to the connector instruction sheet for information about proper conductor preparation as well as compression
location and quantity.
3. Insert the prepared conductor into the connector and place the connector into the tool head (See g 3).
4. Press and hold the start button. The Green LED turns on briey and then turns off once the indentor begins to extend.
5. Continue holding the start button to extend the indentor. Once the indentor contacts and begins to compress the
connector, continue holding the Start button until the tool automatically stops. If the compression is successful the Green
LED turns on. Release the Start button and press the Return button to retract the indentor.
6. Only one compression is required per connection, however
additional compressions are acceptable if the connector barrel has
adequate length. (See g 4). For faster cycle times when
performing multiple compressions, retract the indentor only as far
as required for the next compression.
CAUTION
Never make two compressions in the
same location. Severe over-compression
could occur resulting in connector
overheating and failure.

MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
3.5
1. Very little maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. To ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, store the tool in a cool dry area. Ensure that moving parts are lubricated
regularly.
3. When the plastic housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft soaped cloth.
4. Dust, sand, and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. After each use, the tool should be wiped with a clean cloth taking care
to remove any residue, especially close to the movable parts. Keep the head and indentor clean and free of debris. Solvents can
be used to clean the head but should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap and water to clean the plastic body.
NOTE: Always remove the battery pack from the unit before replacing parts or maintenance.

4.0 IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
4.1 PRECAUTIONS FOR COMPRESSION TOOL
1. Select the appropriate connector for the conductor being terminated. Incorrect combinations result in inferior connections
of the conductors.
2. Never operate the tool to full extension without a mated connector and conductor inserted in the tool head.
3. Always point the tool away from other people.
4. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 14º F (-10º C), the tool should be allowed to return
to room temperature to ensure smooth operation. Use the tool only after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and cause malfunctions.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE BATTERY PACK
4.2
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the battery to water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery or dispose of in a re.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery.
4. Do not leave the battery in locations where it will be exposed to a temperature greater than 122° F (50° C) for an extended
period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the capacity becomes about 1/2 that of the original capacity, the battery should be
replaced.
6. If the battery is stored without being charged, natural drainage will cause the power to be reduced. The battery should be
charged every 3 months if not in use regularly.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THE CHARGER
4.3
1. The LED lamp lights up red and remains lit when the unit starts charging a battery. The LED lamp turns green when
charging is completed.
2. This unit is for charging Milwaukee batteries only. Do not use the charger for any other devices.
3. Allow battery cartridges to cool before charging. Allow at least 15 minutes between charges when charging several
batteries in succession.
4. Charging time is approximately 30 - 60 minutes.
5. Never short circuit the output contacts.
6. Do not expose the charger to water, oil or solvents.
7. Do not disassemble, modify, drop or otherwise abuse the charger.
