3 Description
3.1 Functional description
Basic Hand tool for the use of exchangeable crimping dies up to a maximum cross-section of
120 mm². The linear hub with integrated fast feed ensures precise work. The gear ratio of the
tool enables a high crimping force of 35 kN with low manual force. Crimping dies can be ex-
changed quickly and without tools using the hinged adapter.
A releasable ratchet ensures high crimping quality.

5 Operation
5.1 Crimping terminals
This process can be taken from the operating manual of the corresponding crimping die.
5.2 Fast feed
It is possible to drive the movable die holder more quickly into the position that you require us-
ing the fast feed lever. Only one further step is needed for this.
Rotate the fast feed lever anticlockwise until you have reached the position that you re-
quire.
5.3 Early release
If a release of the hand tool must be carried out, this is possible in a few steps. Depending on
the progress of the crimping or the extent of the hand tool loading, two situations are possible:
Situation 1: Very low or no loading of the hand tool
Press the releasing lever downwards and keep this pressed.
Rotate the fast feed lever clockwise until the movable die holder is in the initial position.
Situation 2: High loading of the hand tool
Press the releasing lever downwards and keep this pressed.
Position the combination spanner on the releasing pin on the back side.
Now rotate this anticlockwise until the movable die holder is in the initial position.
NOTE
Do not use the terminal in the case of early release!

7 Maintenance and servicing
7.1 Daily maintenance
The following daily maintenance tasks should be performed by the responsible operator:
Use a soft, clean brush or a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, dust, moisture and other residues
from the hand tool. Do not use any hard or abrasive tools or materials that could damage
the hand tool.
Apply sewing-machine oil to all pivot points and bearing surfaces. Do not lubricate exces-
sively.
If the hand tool is not needed, store it in a clean and dry location.
7.2 Periodic inspection
The hand tool should be inspected periodically by suitably qualified staff according to the
level of use, and the inspections should be documented.
Check the hand tool for wear and damage, particularly in the area of the crimp nests.
