PRECAUTIONS AND GENERAL GUIDELINES
Always observe the following safety precautions when using this tool:
WARNING
Read and understand all of the instructions and safety information in this manual
before operating or servicing this tool.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard:
•Verify electrical power is “OFF” before working on wiring with this tool. It is
not designed to insulate against shock and should never be used on live
electric circuits.
•Do not use with frayed, abraded or cut air hose.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
•Do not remove the Safety Guard from the tip of the crimping head. It is
designed to guard against accidental closure on hands and is intended for
the operator’s safety.
•Always lock the actuating lever in the neutral position when the tool is not in
use. To lock the tool, move the Safety Lock to the “DOWN” position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in severe injury or death.
WARNING
Wear eye protection when operating or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection can result in serious eye injury from flying
debris.
WARNING
•Do not exceed air pressure of 115 psig.

CRIMPING HEADS
To install the crimping heads, turn the air supply “OFF”, move the “SAFETY LOCK” lever to the
“DOWN” position and retract the two Lock Pins located at the head of the tool. With the jaws wide open
(rollers touching), slide the crimping head into the tool body and align the mounting holes in the tool
frame. Insert the Lock Pins and snap securely into place. Wipe any excess oil from the crimping dies
before using.

AIR SUPPLY
Connect the ¼” male air supply connector to a filter-regulator-lubricator unit rated at a minimum of 5
SCFM. Use a light weight oil compatible with Nitrile elastomer seals and the lubricator bowl materials.
NOTE: The tool has been designed to operate with lubricated air, therefore, a lubricator
must be used.
Failure to use a lubricator will significantly shorten the tool life.
OPERATING PRESSURE
For optimum air pressure setting, adjust the air supply regulator to 85 psig. Insert the desired terminal
and wire into the proper size die and depress the actuating lever – the crimping head will close. The
controlled cycle feature holds the crimp dies closed if the air pressure is too low. To open the crimp
dies; turn the ratchet release knob next to the crimp head clockwise or counter-clockwise. Using new
terminals and wires, increase the air pressure until the tool completes the crimp. Perform wire pullout
test per customer’s test standards.
NOTE: Do not exceed the optimum air pressure setting, as this will cause premature tool
wear.
CAUTION
•READ SAFETY PRECAUTIONS ON PAGE 1 BEFORE USING THIS TOOL.
CRIMPING TOOL OPERATION
1. Move the “SAFETY LOCK” to the “DOWN” position to prevent accidental operation.
2. Rotate the Die Head to the proper orientation for the application.
3. Move the “SAFETY LOCK” to the “UP” position.
4. Set the optimum air pressure as instructed in the Operating Pressure Setting section above.
5. To crimp, insert the desired terminal and wire into the proper size die. Refer to the Product
Information Chart supplied with the crimping head or the product packaging for proper die
selection and wire strip length.
6. Depress the actuating lever or foot petal and hold until the dies fully close.
7. Remove the terminal after the dies open.
MAINTENANCE
Crimping Heads should be lubricated at least ONCE A WEEK. Lubricate all pins, pivots, rollers and
bearing surfaces with a good grade SAE 20 motor oil. Be sure to clean any excess oil from the
crimping dies before using the tool.
