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 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 8A 
or 8B 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. 
 
% This tool is qualified to pull force only.  To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped 
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation.  Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
