PROPER USE GUIDELINES

 

Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional 
use and low-volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment is available for extended-use production operations. 
The SDE-SA hand tool is a commercial-grade tool. Product crimped with this tool meets the wire barrel crimp height requirement for hand 
tools in the appropriate 114 application specification, but might not comply with other feature parameters of the specification.
