1.3. RELEASING THE INDENTER
1.3.1. The SCTP series pneumatic Safe-T-Cable®tool has an internal cycle control feature which
prevents the indenter from returning if the crimping cycle is not completed. Therefore, if the
air pressure is insufficient or the tool is adjusted too tight, the tool may not complete the
crimp cycle and the indenter may not release the ferrule.
1.3.2. To release the indenter, loosen the two 8-32 socket head cap screws which retain the nose (see
figure3).Activatethetool.
1.3.3. After the indenter has returned, tighten the 8-32 socket head cap screws as described in 1.2.4.
