Maint nanc
It is recommended that each operator of the tool
be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following maintenance steps:
. 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 other equipment it
needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points,
every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, 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.
Miscrimps or Jams
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 lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.
