Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the
tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other
contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any fine piece of equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Use a 30 weight automotive (light)
oil used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, shown in Figure 7A or 7B will significantly enhance
the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming
lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool
in a clean, dry area.
