Note:
To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be followed.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
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 other equipment it needs cleaning
and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble
free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3
months, 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.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position,
Do Not
force the handles
open or
closed
. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.
