Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any fine piece of equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Use a 30 weight automotive (light)
oil used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, shown in Figure 7A or 7B will significantly enhance
the tool life.
4.
Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5.
When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies,
and store the tool in a clean, dry area.

preload. It may be necessary over the life of
the tool to adjust tool handle preload force.
Listed below are the steps required to adjust
the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain
proper crimp conditions:
1.
Remove or fold back the handle grip from
the handle to expose the eccentric axle
and setting wheel.
2.
Remove the locking screw with a 2mm hex
wrench. The wrench set (63810-0101), is
not supplied. It is sold separately from the
hand tool.
3.
Turn the eccentric axle and setting wheel
with the wrench or pliers Counter-clockwise
(CCW) to increase handle force.
4.
Replace the locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.
5.
Replace the handle grip.
6.
Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
