Tool Maintenance
1.
Maintenance and inspection should be performed regularly.
2.
Verify the tool preload force to ensure it is properly calibrated. See “How to Adjust Tool Preload”.
3.
Check the locator tension to ensure it is properly calibrated (Not applicable for 1309G4 or
1309G1). See “How to Adjust Locator Tension”.
4.
Wipe tool clean with special emphasis on the crimping cavities.
5.
Tool may be cleaned by immersing in a suitable commercial solvent or cleaner which does not
attack plastic material or paints.
6.
Lubricate tool after cleaning using a light film of medium weight oil on moving parts.
7.
A light coating of lithium grease may be used on die cavities.
8.
When not in use, keep handles closed, but without significant force on the dies. Store in a
clean dry area.
How to Adjust Tool Preload
1.
Measure current tool preload force by placing the end of one of the handles on a scale and
pushing the other grip until the ratchet releases. The amount of force should be measured 1 3/4
inches from handle end as shown (See Figure 4).
2.
To adjust tool to obtain proper force values, open the handles and remove the cam locking
screw with the hex key wrench (See Figure 5).
3.
Rotate the cam clockwise to increase handle load or counterclockwise to decrease handle load.
4.
Position odd numbers on the cam in the locking screw hole adjacent to the letter “L” and even
numbers adjacent to the letter “T”.
5.
Lock the cam at the desired handle load setting by inserting the locking screw and remeasure the force.
Continue adjustment if necessary.
Proper Force Values: 1309G1-1309G6 (25 lbs. min) 1309G9-10 (55 lbs. min)
How to Adjust Locator Tension
1.
Using 9 mm or 11/32” wrench, tighten the nut on the locator stud until it bottoms out
(do not over torque or the locator may crack).
2.
LOOSEN THE NUT ONE COMPLETE TURN. This is required for correct tool operation.
NOTE: Distortion of the contacts can occur if the locator is not adjusted properly so that it is
allowed to move. There should not be any noticeable distortion in the angle of the contact blade
after crimping (See Figure 3).
Replacing Dies and Locators
Disassemble
1. Inspect tool frame to ensure good mechanical condition. If not in good condition then
replace entire tool.
2. Remove the nut, wavy washer and locator.
3. Unscrew the top and bottom die screws.
4. Remove the dies from the frame. The tool can now be assembled with a different dieset
configuration.
Reassemble
1. Assemble the desired die in the top position with the supplied short screw.
(See Figure 7)
2. Place the bottom anvil die in the frame. (See Figure 7)
3. Tighten the screws until they bottom on the frame and loosen ½ turn.
4. Place the locator, wavy washer and nut on the screw; in that order.
(See Figure 6 & Figure 8)
5. Follow steps under “How to Adjust Locator Tension”.
7. Follow steps under “How to Adjust Tool Preload”. If tool is no longer able to provide “Proper
Force Values” then replace the entire tool.

Load applied
All tools except 1309G9-10: Apply torque as shown
until ratchet releases. The force at a point 1-3/4”
from handle end should be 25 pounds minimum for
most crimping situations For the 1309G9-10 set at 55
pounds minimum.
