IMPORTANT OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR THE TOOL
1. Select appropriate dies for the connector to be compressed. Incorrect combinations result in
inferior connections of the conductors. Consult your connector manufacturer for the recommended
die/connector combinations.
2. Always point the tool
AWAY
from other people.
3. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 25º F (-5ºC), the tool
should be allowed to return to room temperature to ensure smooth operation Use the tool only
after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
4. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and result in the tool not
functioning correctly.
5. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head, but
should not be used on the plastic body. Use soap and water to clean the body.
1. Do not short circuit the contacts or expose the cartridge to water, oil or solvents.
2. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the battery cartridge or dispose of in a fire.
3. Do not drop or otherwise abuse the battery cartridge.
4. Do not leave the cartridge in locations where it will be exposed to a temperature greater than 140ºF
(60ºC) for an extended period.
5. The battery has a limited life. When the crimping capacity becomes about 1/2 that of the original
capacity, the battery should be replaced.
6. If the battery cartridge is stored without being charged, natural drainage will cause the power to be
reduced. The battery should be charged every 3 months if not in use.
