JAW INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
One of the main features of the BURNDY
®
PATRIOT
®
IN-LINE
®
Crimper/Cutter tool is its ability to easily change
out and install different types of jaws, without the need
for any additional tools. There are several different types
of jaws for crimping and cutting, so it may be necessary
to switch jaws depending on the application. (
See Parts
Section to order other jaw variations.
)
1) Engage the activation trigger lock and then remove
battery.
2) Press the black retraction trigger to ensure the ram is
fully retracted.
3) Grip the knurled end of the main pivot pin and pull
outward. Turning the pin while pulling will make it
easier to get past the detent and pull outward. (Note:
The pin will not pull out of the yoke completely.)
4) Squeeze the jaws slightly and remove the jaws from
the tool.
5) Insert new jaws into the yoke by closing the jaws
slightly in your hand. Line up the tabs at the base of
the jaws with the notches in the yoke.
6) Push the pin inward so that it is fully inserted into the
jaws and yoke.
BLADE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE
If the blades wear out, it will be necessary to change out
and install new blades. (
See Parts Section to order new
blades and guide.
)
Required Tools: 9/64" Allen Wrench, 5/32" Allen Wrench
1) Engage the activation trigger lock and then remove
battery.
2) Remove the guide by removing the #8-32 socket head
cap screws.
