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
light oil such as 30 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.
Miscrimps or Jams for Crimp Hand Tools Only
(See Figure 11)
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 11.

Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify commercial grade hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for
customers to re-certify hand tools or determine tool life:
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum conductor crimp height, it should be taken out
of service and replaced.
The tool frame is very difficult to disassemble and reassemble. Customer repair is not recommended.
