1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
TOOL TYPE:
Acoustic Noise (Directive 2006/42/EC, annexe 1, point 1.7.4.2 letter u)
– The weighted continuous acoustic pressure level equivalent
A at the work place LpA is equal to .............................................................................................................. 64,9 dB (A)
– The maximum value of the weighted acoustic displacement
pressure C at the work place LpCPeak is equal to ........................................................................................ 99,7 dB (C)
– The acoustic power level emitted by the machine
LWA is equal to ...................................................................................................................................................... 69,3 dB (A)
Risks due to vibration (Directive 2006/42/EC, annexe 1, point 2.2.1.1)
Tests carried out in compliance with the indications contained in UNI ENV 25349 and UNI EN 28662 part
1st Standards, and under operating conditions much more severe than those normally found, certify that
the weighted root mean square in frequency of the acceleration the upper limbs are exposed to for
each biodynamic reference axis is 0,527 m/sec2 max.

2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The tool is equipped with automatic return of the dies once the crimping operation is completed.
The interchangeable crimping jaws have thermoplastic rubber covers on outside edges.
Residual battery capacity level is automatically displayed after every cycle.
The part reference “B54...” includes the following:
– Basic tool complete with battery
– Spare battery
– Battery charger
– Canvas bag.
2.1) Preparation
With the tool in the rest position (the ram fully retracted) proceed as follows:
– Select the appropriate groove or die set for the connector to be crimped.
– Insert the dies into the jaws of the tool (see § 2.8).
– Insert the conductor into the connector.
2.2) Die advancement (Ref. to Fig. 2)
Grip the tool rmly and comfortably.
– Position the connector in the die groove
and ensure the correct location of the
crimp.
– Press operating button (4) to activate
the motor-pump group for the advance-
ment of the ram. To halt the advance-
ment, release the operating button and
the motor will cut out.
Make sure the dies are exactly positioned
on the desired crimp point otherwise
re-open dies following instructions as per
§ 2.5 and reposition the connector.

2.3) Compression
Insert the conductor in the connector and press the operating button (4): the ram will gradually
move forward until the two dies touch. It is recommended to keep operating until the maximum
pressure valve is activated and a "click" is heard, after which the dies will automatically re-open
until the ram is fully retracted. It is always possible to interrupt automatic retraction of the ram by
a short push on the operating button (4).
2.4) Head rotation
For ease of operation the tool head can rotate through 180°, allowing the operator to work in the
most comfortable position.
Warning: do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
2.5) Release of dies
Press the pressure release button (9), the ram will retract and open the jaws.
2.6) Battery status (Ref. to Fig. 3)
The battery is equipped with LED indicators
that indicate the remaining battery life at
any time by pressing the adjacent button (P).
4 LEDs illuminated: Fully charged
2 LEDs illuminated: 50 % capacity
1 LED ashing: Minimum charge, replace the battery

2.7) Insertion/replacement
of battery
To replace the battery, remove
itbypressingthe release button
(15)(Ref.toFig.4),theninsertthe
new battery, sliding it into the
guides until it locks.

2.8) Crimping die assembles
2.8.1) Use of ”W” style crimping dies (B54M-D6A, B54M-D6-8A tools)
– Press pins (2) and insert “W” dies into their seats (see Fig. 5A).
– To disassemble them simply press the pins and slip them from the jaws.
2.8.2) Use of ”O” style Kearney crimping dies (B54M-KA tool)
– Insert “O”dies into their seats, the two dies will be held by the retainers (7) (see Fig. 5B).
– To disassemble them simply slip them from the jaws.
Note: it is possible to use “W”style crimping dies with B54M-KA by means of the AU55-B adapter,
available as an accessory.
ITIS RECOMMENDED TO USE THE TOOL ONLY WITH PRODUCT TO BE CRIMPED INSERTED.

2.9) Jaw replacement
Each tool is supplied with relevant jaws (see § 1). Jaws can
also be supplied separately, for replacement proceed as
follows:
–Push and turn clockwise the locking pin (9) so that
the jaws are released.
– Slide the jaws out of the top of the tool and insert the
new ones (see Fig. 6).
– Fully insert the locking pin (9) into the tool and lock it
by turning clockwise until the red lines are aligned.

3. WARNING
Before starting work on electrical equipment, please ensure that either there are no live parts in
the immediate working area or that precautions are taken for working near live parts in accordance
with EN50110-1.
DONOT USE THIS TOOL ON OR NEAR ENERGISED CONDUCTORS WITHOUT PROPER
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS WARNING COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
THE TOOL IS UNSUITABLE FOR CONTINUOUS USE AND SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO COOL
DOWN FOLLOWING UNINTERRUPTED, SUCCESSIVE CRIMPING OPERATIONS; FOR INSTANCE,
HAVING EXHAUSTED AFULLY CHARGED BATTERY IN ONE SESSION, DELAY BATTERY
REPLACEMENT FOR AFEW MINUTES.
OBSERVE RECOMMENDED REST PERIODS ALSO WHEN USING AN EXTERNAL POWER
SUPPLY.
PROTECT THE TOOL FROM RAIN AND MOISTURE. WATER WILL DAMAGE THE TOOL AND
BATTERY. ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC TOOLS SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED IN POURING RAIN
OR UNDER WATER.
DONOT USE THIS TOOL ON OR NEAR ENERGISED CONDUCTORS WITHOUT PROPER

Carefully follow the instructions in the battery charger manual.
4. MAINTENANCE
The tool is robust, completely sealed and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points should help to maintain the optimum performance of
the tool:
4.1) Thorough cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Every day, after use, the tool must be wiped with a clean cloth taking care to remove any residue,
especially close to moveable parts.
4.2) Storage
When not in use, the tool and accesories should be stored and transported in the relevant canvas
bag to prevent damage.
