11.
Gently squeeze the tool handles together to allow the terminal insulation profile to provide an acceptable strain
relief.
12.
Remove the crimped terminal from the tool. Inspect the crimp for loose wire strands, missing crimp, or other
damage. Any minor terminal bending may be straightened by hand.
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. Light oil (such as SAE30W oil) applied at
the oil points, shown in Figure 4, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, is
recommended.
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.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing
defects for a period of 30 days. Should such a defect occur, the tool will be repaired or exchanged free of charge.
This exchange will not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use
only. Any clamping, fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.
ServiceGrade™ crimp hand tools are low cost tools used in field repair for a limited number of terminations. If a
high quality tool is required or a higher volume of terminations required, please purchase the corresponding
PremiumGrade™ crimp hand tool. A ServiceGrade™ crimp tool may or may not have a terminal locator and in
some case may need the locator removed to operate properly.
