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. This 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. A light oil (such as
30 weight automotive oil) at the oil points shown in Figure 4, every
5,000 crimps or monthly will significantly enhance the tool life and
ensure a stable calibration.
4.
When tool is not in use store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Tool Calibration
A Certificate of Calibration (see last page) was supplied with the tool. To recalibrate this tool, measurements
should be taken from each conductor nest and compared to this chart. The tool should be lubricated prior to
recalibration to ensure consistent measurements.
