1. INTRODUCTION
The CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213805--[ ] is comprised of the battery crimp tool (with
the SDE Hand Tool Adapter installed), as well as two rechargeable battery cartridges (1725839--1) to power
the tool. See Figure 1. Each kit has a battery charger. The battery charger part number, its voltage, and the
kit’s region of use are listed in the table below. A battery tool may have a release switch to retract the ram as
listed in the table below. The CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit is designed to adapt the
crimping head from any CERTI--CRIMP II straight action hand tool (SAHT) for use with the battery powered

crimp tool. For crimp head information (including wire preparation, crimping procedures, maintenance and
inspection procedures, as well as repair and replacement procedures) refer to the appropriate instruction sheet
for the associated hand tool and crimping head.

2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION
The CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213805--[ ] is thoroughly inspected during and after
assembly. Prior to packaging and shipping a final series of tests and inspections is made to ensure proper
function of the tool. The following inspection should be performed as a safeguard against potential problems
generated in transit.
1. In a well--lighted area, carefully uncrate the tool kit and inspect each component as it is removed from
the crate.
2. Thoroughly inspect each component for evidence of damage that may have occurred in transit. If any
of the components are damaged, file a claim against the carrier and notify TE Connectivity immediately.
3. Keep this manual and all drawings and product samples with the tool for the benefit of operation and
maintenance personnel.
The crimp tool should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals, depending on care, degree of operator
skill, the type and size of product being crimped, and environmental conditions. At a minimum, the tool should
be inspected after every 40 hours of use.
3. INSTALLATION/REMOVAL OF CRIMPING HEADS
Do not operate the tool without the SDE hand tool adapter Installed. Damage to the ram or seals can result.
Do not operate the tool without a hand tool crimp head installed. Damage to the adapter can result.
CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 1213805--[ ] comes with SDE hand tool adapter already
installed on the battery powered hand tool. The only installation required is the installation of the crimping
heads.
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise extreme caution when handling the crimp tool. Remove the battery before
installing or removing crimping heads.
3.1. Installation of Crimping Heads
As supplied, the adapter has three quick--release pins installed (Figure 1). The two outer pins will be used to
secure the two outer housing tabs of the crimp head (exposed portion of the crimp head) to the adapter. The
center pin will be used to secure the movable die of the crimp head to the ram of the adapter.
These pins must be removed prior to installing the crimping head.
1. Remove the battery from the tool.
2. Remove the quick--release pins, described above.
3. Insert the exposed portion of the crimp head into the adapter cavity. See Figure 1.

4. Insert the two outer quick--release pins through the holes in the adapter, and through the holes in the
two outer tabs of the crimping head.
The quick--release pins will “snap” into position when they are properly inserted.
5. Insert the center quick--release pin into the adapter and through the holes in the ram and the
moveable die of the crimp head.
The quick--release pin will “snap” into position when it is properly inserted.
3.2. Removal of Crimping Heads
To avoid personal injury, remove the battery before removing the crimping heads.
To remove the crimping head, it will be necessary to remove the quick--release pins and the crimp head from
the battery powered crimp tool.
4. OPERATION
4.1. Battery Installation and Removal (Refer to Figure 1)
The Batteries Directive 2006/66/EC introduces new requirements from September 2008 on removability of batteries
from waste equipment in EU Member States. To comply with this Directive, this device is designed to allow the
rechargeable battery pack to be easily removed by the end--user when it needs to be replaced.
To install the battery, slide the battery into the bottom of the crimp tool until it can go no further. There will be an
audible “click” of the battery lock to indicate that the battery has been properly installed.
To remove the battery, disengage the battery lock by applying pressure on the lock toward the bottom of the
tool and slide the battery away from the tool.
Always dispose of the old battery pack in an environmentally--responsible way, in accordance with local waste
regulations. Where possible, please recycle the battery cartridge. Contact your local authority for details of battery
recycling locations in your area.
4.2. Crimping
The following procedure provides only general information concerning crimping. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the crimping head for detailed information, including wire stripping dimensions and instructions
for positioning terminals and splices in the crimpers.
To operate the CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp Tool 1213805--[ ]:
To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the crimping area.
1. Insert the contact into the dies.
2. Depress the trigger to advance the moving jaw in order to hold the contact in place. Do NOT deform
the insulation barrel or wire barrel.
3. Place a pre--stripped wire in the barrel of the contact.
4. Depress and hold the trigger to complete the crimp. The crimp tool returns automatically to the first
position of its cycle when the crimp is complete.

If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimping cycle is completed, push the release switch. Pushing the release
switch will result in the complete retraction of the ram. Only kits 1213805--1, --2, and --5 have a ratchet release switch.
This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimp tool to cool for 15 minutes.
5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1. Daily Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance on a daily basis:
1. Inspect the dies for wear or damage such as cracks, gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks. If damage is detected, return the tool to TE for repair
3. Clean the tool, removing accumulations of dirt and grease on the adapter, particularly in areas where
heads are installed and contacts are crimped. Wipe the entire tool frequently with a clean, lint--free cloth.
5.2. Yearly Maintenance
Once a year, or every 10,000 cycles (whichever comes first) The CERTI--CRIMP II Battery Powered Crimp
Tool should be returned to TE for inspection.
