Instructions for the use and
adjustment of the 3M Assembly Press 3335
Please Note:
The 3M Assembly Press 3335 has been designed specifically for the assembly of 3M electronic
connectors to flat cable. When used for this purpose they will provide excellent service and require a minimum of
maintenance. The presses should never be used to perform other shop functions. All assembly presses have four
mounting holes in the base plate for securing to a bench.
CAUTION: Some connectors are assembled using a Crimp Bar equipped with a sharp cut off blade instead of a
Platen. Please use care in handling. The Crimp Bar is simply pressed onto the press shaft. To facilitate wire
preparation, it is a good idea to turn the Crimp Bar perpendicular to the connector length such that the blade faces
away from you.
CAUTION: Be sure the press head is in its upright and secured position when the machine is being transported.
Remove all accessories before moving the press. Only lift the press by the base, do not lift or carry it by the handle.
General:
The recommended platen and its position is included on
the instruction sheet, The standard platen, #3442-1A, is
provided with the assembly press and is used for the
assembly of most 3M electronic connectors. Other platens
necessary for certain 3M connectors are available
through your 3M representative.
