IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
SAFETY
ALERT
SYMBOL
This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards
or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or
property damage. The signal word, defined below,
indicates the severity of the hazard. The message
after the signal word provides information for pre-
venting or avoiding the hazard.
Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result
in severe injury or death.
Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in
severe injury or death.
Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,
MAY result in injury or property damage.
Read and understand all of the
instructions and safety information
in this manual before operating or
servicing this tool.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
Electric shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When
using this unit on or near energized
electrical lines, use proper personal
protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for oil
leaks. Oil under pressure easily
punctures skin. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately to
remove oil.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in serious injury, gan-
grene, or death.
Do not use solvents or flammable
liquids to clean the tool body.
Solvents or flammable liquids could
ignite and cause serious injury or
property damage.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-•
tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete crimp.
The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically•
retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do
not hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram
does not automatically retract, the crimp is not
complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.

Remove battery before changing•
dies, adapters, or jaws.
Keep hands away from the crimp-•
ing tool head when crimping.
Failure to observe these warnings
could result in severe injury or death.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They will vent
fumes and may explode.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury from harmful fumes or burns from flying

Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended•
purpose only.
Failure to observe these precautions may result in
injury or property damage.
Do not allow anything to contact the battery
terminals.
Do not immerse the batteries in liquid. Liquid may•
create a short circuit and damage the battery.
If batteries are immersed, contact your service
center for proper handling.

This tool is equipped with a special circuit board incor-
porating several important features to inform the user
about the current status of the unit. The LED signals in
the following cases:
What happens Signal What it means
Flashing light for 2 seconds Battery is inserted in tool
Constant light for 20 seconds
at end of cycle
Battery charge is below
17 V at beginning of cycle
Tool will not start, and
constant light for 20 seconds
when trigger is released

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 an 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 is released.

Operation (cont’d)
For a cUL or UL classified crimp, see the connector
table in this instruction manual.
Preparation
Note: When using KC12-type dies, complete the
number of crimps listed on the “Connector Selection”
chart in this manual. For other dies, complete the
number of crimps specified by the manufacturer.
1. Select a proper size and type of connector to
correspond with the wire or cable.
2. Strip the cable to an appropriate length. Follow the
connector manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Apply an oxide inhibitor, if required.
See the connector manufacturer’s instructions.
3. Clean the die seat area.
Crimping
1. Insert the cable fully into the connector.
2. Align the connector between the crimping dies as
shown below.
3. For a UL or cUL classified crimp, complete the
number of crimps specified under “Connector
Selection”.
4. For a single crimp, position the connector so the
crimp will be located at the center of the barrel.
For a double crimp, position the connector so two
crimps will be evenly spaced between the connec-
tor marks.
5. Depress the trigger to advance the piston. Hold the
trigger down until the piston automatically begins to
retract.
Notes: If the crimping tool does not automatically
retract, the crimp is incomplete.
It is normal for the battery load display to light at
both the beginning and near the end of the crimping
cycle.
6. Release the trigger until the piston retracts
completely.
7. To stop the ram from returning fully, activate the
trigger for a brief moment. This activation will close
the retraction valve and stop the retraction motion.
Note: if it is necessary to retract the piston before
a crimp cycle is complete, push the retract button.
Pushing the retract button will result in complete
retraction of the piston.
After completing the last crimp on an aluminum
connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-•
tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete crimp.
The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically•
retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do
not hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram
does not automatically retract, the crimp is not
complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.

Maintenance
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for oil
leaks. Oil under pressure easily
punctures skin. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately to
remove oil.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in serious injury, gan-
grene, or death.
Do not use solvents or flammable
liquids to clean the tool body.
Solvents or flammable liquids could
ignite and cause serious injury or
property damage.
Pinch points:
Remove battery before changing•
dies, adapters, or jaws.
Keep hands away from the crimp-•
ing tool head when crimping.
Failure to observe these warnings
could result in severe injury or death.
Relief valve adjustments must be done by an
authorized service center.
Daily
Before use:
1. Inspect the tool for wear or damage, such as cracks,
gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks.

retract the ram. The head should rotate no more
than 360°. If damage is detected, send the tool to a
Klauke Authorized Service Center for inspection.
After use:
1. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the
housing. Allow the housing to dry.
2. Fully retract the ram. Place the tool in the carrying
case and store in a cool, dry place.
3. If necessary, recharge the batteries. Refer to the
instructions supplied with the battery charger.
Monthly
1. Thoroughly clean all surfaces.
2. Check the oil level.
Annually or After 10,000 Crimps
1. Replace the hydraulic oil.
2. Send the tool to a Klauke Authorized Service Center
for inspection.
Checking the Oil Level
