1. INTRODUCTION

This instruction sheet provides operation and 
maintenance instructions for the Battery Operated 
Hydraulic Crimping Tools 1213875-[ ] and 1976505-[ ]. 
See Figure 1.

Battery operated tools 1213875-[ ] have a 25.4 mm
[1 in.] stroke. Battery operated tools 1976505-[ ] have 
a 38.1 mm [1.50 in.] stroke. Battery operated tools 
1213875-1 and 1976505-1 have a 120 Volt charger. 
Battery operated tools 1213875-2 and 1976505-2 
have a 220 Volt charger.

The crimping head is designed to use dies that crimp 
the terminals in Figure 2 which also lists the wire sizes 
onto which the terminals and splices are crimped, as 
well as the instruction sheet for the crimping dies.

Dimensions on this document are in metric units 

[with U. S. customary units in brackets], unless 

otherwise specified. Figures and illustrations are for 

reference only and are not drawn to scale.

2. DESCRIPTION 

(Figure 1)

Main components of Battery Operated Hydraulic 
Crimping Tools 1213875-[ ] and 1976505-[ ] include a 
“C”-Head, which houses the stationary die; a piston 
(ram), which houses the moving die and the die detent 
mechanism; and a power unit, which houses the 
hydraulic pump components. A removable battery is 
also part of the functioning tool.

3. INSTALLATION

3.1. Battery Installation 

(Figure 3)

Slide the battery into the handle of the power unit until 
it emits an audible and tactile click. The battery should 
lock into position.

3.2. Die Installation

To avoid personal injury, do NOT accidentally 

depress the trigger when installing or removing 

dies.

Operating the head WITHOUT the crimping dies 

installed will damage the “C”-Head or ram.

To install the die in the ram:

1. Remove the battery to prevent accidental 
actuation.

2. Select the proper die set for the product to be 
crimped.

3. Place the moving die half in the ram and press on 
its side until the die snaps into place.

To install the die in the “C”-Head:

1. Remove the battery to prevent accidental 
actuation.

2. Select the proper die set for the product to be 
crimped.

3. Place the stationary die half in the “C”-Head and 
press on its side until the die snaps into place.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

The following procedure provides only general 
information concerning crimping. Refer to the 
instructions packaged with the dies (see Figure 2) for 
detailed information, including wire stripping 
dimensions and instructions for positioning terminals 
and splices in the dies.
