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 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 a
light oil, such as 3 weight automotive oil, every 5, crimps or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life
and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 6A or 6B for lubrication points.
4. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.
Miscrimps or Jams for Hand Crimp 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 1 .
Tool Calibration (See Figure 7)
A Certificate of Calibration (See Last Page) was supplied with the tool. To check this Tool, a soft metal slug or
solder should be crimped in the conductor nest and the “X” Dimension measured in the conductor nest and
compared to the chart. The tool should be lubricated prior to recalibration to ensure consistent measurements.
Handle preload is factory set to 25-45 lbs.
