COMPRESSION OPERATION
3.5
1. Select the appropriate size dies for the connector being used.
2. Insert the Dies into the Head side and Ram side by sliding the
dies in while pressing the Die Release Pin. If needed, the
head can be opened for easier access by pulling the Head
Release Pin.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to compression, make sure
the head is closed and the Head Release Pin is fully
engaged.
3. Place the connector between the dies. Press the advance
button and advance the Ram so the connector is held lightly
between the dies. Do not deform the connector.
4. Insert the conductor into the connector.
5. Press the advance button until the compression is complete.
A series of clicks will be heard followed by a release in the
pressure when compression is complete. If the LED indicator
(Step 2.1) shows RED during compression, the battery
charge level is low but enough to complete the compression.
The battery should be charged before next use.
6. Press the release button (Step 3.4) to retract the ram. The
ram continues to retract while the release button is pressed.
The ram stops when it is fully retracted.
7. Remove the compressed connector from the tool.

tool during operation.
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
3.6
1. Very little maintenance is required to ensure that the tool is kept in good working condition.
2. To ensure smooth operation and prevent rust, store the tool in a cool dry area. Ensure that moving parts are lubricated regularly.
3. When the plastic housing becomes dirty, clean it with a soft soaped cloth.
4. Dust, sand, and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. After each use, the tool should be wiped with a clean cloth taking care
to remove any residue, especially close to the movable parts.
5. If the tool is maintained regularly, it should provide you with trouble free service.
NOTE:
Always remove the battery pack from the unit before replacing parts or maintenance.
