Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made
aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a
clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the
tool.
3.
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.
