Maintenan e
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.
. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing
surfaces in the tool head are protected with a
thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. This 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. The use of light oil, such as 0 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps or monthly,
will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 7A or 7B for lubrication
points.
4. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.
Mis rimps or Jams for Crimp Hand Tools Only (See Figure 10)
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or
closed. The tool will open easily by rotating the small slotted screw marked with an arrow. See Figure 10.
