Pressure Sensor
This tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts
the user of an incomplete crimp.
• If the tool is manually retracted before completion
of a crimp, the red LED and audible beep will be
active for 2 seconds.
• If the tool is unable to reach the required crimp
force, the red LED, work light, and an audible
beep will pulse until after the trigger isreleased.
Installing Dies
1. Select the proper dies for the intendedcrimp.
2. Slide the die into the crimping head until it
“snaps” into place.
3. Properly position the second die, and repeat step 2.
Preparing Cable
Follow the lug/connector manufacturer’s instructions for
appropriate cable strip length, and contact/wire assembly.
Crimping Cable
1. If necessary, lift the upper latching arm to open
the crimping head.
2. Insert the properly assembled connector into
the crimping head.
3. Close the crimping head, if it was opened.
4. Pull the trigger to make thecrimp.
5. Hold the trigger down until crimping tool achieves
pressure relief, which is accompanied by an
audible “pop”.
6. The crimp tool push rod retractsautomatically.
7. If necessary, open the crimping head and
remove the crimped connector.
Note:If itis necessaryto retractthe toolpushrod before

Charging a Battery
When a battery is inserted on to the charger the red LEDwill
illuminate and stay on while chargingoccurs.
The green LED will turn off while the battery is less than
80% charged.
Both green and red LED’s will illuminate when the battery is
greater than 80% charged, but not yet fully charged.
When charging is complete, the red LED will turn off, and
the green LED will stay on.
If you leave the battery on the charger after it is charged,
the charger will switch to its trickle charge mode for 24
hours.
The following are the possible conditions shown by
the right hand yellow LED.
Flashing indicates trouble with the cooling fan system.
Ensure that all cooling vents, and the battery connections
are free of dust or debris. If flashing continues, return the
unit to DMC for repair.
Continuous illumination indicates that a conditioning charge
is occurring. This happens when the battery being charged
is at either a very low or very high temperature. This can
also occur if you attempt to charge a fully charged battery.
These conditions will increase charging times.
Other conditions indicated by charger LED’s
Flashing Red with Green off-Charger is overheated.
Unplug the charger, and allow it to cool down.
Flashing Red, with Flashing Green-This indicates a
defective battery.
