6. MAINTENANCE
There is virtually no maintenance required.
However, it is a good practice to keep indenter
tips free of residual and other debris. A small
wire brush may be used for this purpose.
We strongly recommend that you:
- DO NOT immerse tool in cleaning solution
- DO NOT spray oil into tool to lubricate
- DO NOT attempt to disassemble tool to
make repairs
This is a precision crimp tool and should be
handled with care.
7. VISUAL INSPECTION
The crimping tool should be inspected on a
regular basis to ensure that it has not become
worn or damaged. If damage or abnormal wear
is evident, the tool must be replaced.
