OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Insert the plug end into 120V power source. The LED indicator will be
steady green indicating the charger is now in “stand-by” mode and
ready to charge the battery. Do not plug the charger into a generator as
this will likely cause the fuse in the charger to short, and will not operate.
2. To charge a drained battery, insert the battery into the charger until the
LED indicator shows a steady amber. This indicates the battery is be-
ing charged and will be completed in
approximately 90 minutes. The LED
indicator will show a Steady Green
(100%).
3. If the indicator shows a ashing am-
ber LED light when the battery is
inserted, the battery is too hot to be
charged and must be cooled to room tem-
perature before charging. Do not leave the battery in the charger to
cool as the charger will not recognize the battery is inserted and will not
charge.
4. If the LED indicator goes out or is ashing quick amber, this could be a
possible short in the battery circuit, or a problem with the charger itself.
It is best to consult the factory for service if such a condition occurs.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
1. While pressing the latch, pull up and
out the battery cartridge. To replace the
battery cartridge, push the new cartridge
rmly into place.
2. After inserting a battery cartridge, check
that it is securely in place by pulling gen-
tly. Do not press the latch when replacing
the cartridge.
1. The ram advances when the trigger is pressed and stops when the
trigger is released.
2. To retract the ram, push the release button. The ram continues to
retract while the release button is pressed.

Ensure that you have read and understand the safety instructions includ-
ed in this manual before you operate the tool.
Check whether the tool is damaged. Before using the tool, always care-
fully check that parts are functioning correctly.
Check that moving parts do not become stuck and are not damaged.
DO NOT use the tool if damaged or defective parts are detected. Dam-
aged or defective parts must be repaired by a qualied technician.
Slide the battery into the handle until you hear a click.
Before using the tool, check that the moveable piston is in its rest position
(fully retracted, by actuating the retract trigger).
Loos battery-driven, handheld, open jaw swaging tool has a powerful
6 -ton output which will crimp the 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16, 7/32,1/4,
9/32, and 5/16 inch copper and aluminum oval sleeves on to the corre-
sponding sizes of wire rope.
The tool utilizes interchangeable dies that are manufactured by Loos &
Co to t 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, and 5/16 aluminum and copper oval sleeves.
These dies are sold in pairs. One pair for each size sleeve. The 3/32 and
1/8 sleeves require only one crimp, or one cycle of the tool. The 3/16
sleeves require two crimps, or two complete cycles of the tool. The 1/4
sleeves require four crimps, or four complete cycles of the tool. The 5/16
copper sleeves require four crimps or four complete cycles of the tool. The
5/16 aluminum sleeves requires ve crimps or ve complete cycles of the
tool.

Activate the retract trigger (4) to open jaws of tool.
Select proper die to be used (either 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16) and slide
both pieces of the die set into jaws of the tool by unscrewing the insert
screw (5) on slide of jaw, then slide die into place and retighten.
Place the cable sleeve to be crimped between the 2 dies. Press on the
forward trigger to crimp the sleeve onto the cable. An audible click advis-
es when the swage (crimp) is completed.
Open the jaws of the tool by pressing the retract trigger (4) you may now
crimp another sleeve or you may start another crimp cycle of the tool (for

Finished sleeve should look like this. Be sure sleeves have been compressed the
proper number of times. (See NUMBER OF COMPRESSIONS Figure 1)
Figure 1
Use the swaging gauge provided with the tool to check proper after swage
diameter of sleeve. Compressed sleeve should slide into size slot in gauge.
Sleeves elongate after compression. To assure maximum holding allow
the end of the cable to extend beyond the sleeve after it is compressed.
The following chart indicates to number of compressions for each
size sleeve to obtain maximum holding strength. The powerful 6-ton
tool requires only one compression for the 3/32 and 1/8 size sleeves.
Select the proper die size for the sleeve to be swaged. Use only 3/32
sleeves with 3/32 die, 1/8 sleeve with 1/8 die and so on. For lap slices at
least two oval sleeves should be used.

1. Always wear protective eye wear when operating the tool.
2. Select appropriate dies for the connector to be compressed. Incorrect
combinations result in inferior connections of the conductors. Con-
sult your connector manufacturer for the recommended die/connector
combinations.
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 25°F (-5°C), the tool should be allowed to return to room tem-
perature 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 result in the tool not functioning correctly.
6. Keep the head and ram 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 body.
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the cartridge to water, oil
or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery cartridge or dis-
pose of in a re.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery cartridge.
4. Do not leave the cartridge in locations where it will be exposed to a
temperature greater than 140°F (60°C) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the crimping capacity becomes
about 1/2 that of the original capacity, the battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery cartridge is stored without being charged, natural drain-
age will cause the power to be reduced. The battery should be charged
every 3 months if not in use.
