Operation
Electric shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When
using this unit near energized
electrical lines, use only certified
non-conductive hoses and proper
personal protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
Skin injection hazard:
• Do not use hands to check for
leaks.
• Do not hold hose or couplers
while the hydraulic system is
pressurized.
• Depressurize the hydraulic system
before servicing.
Oil under pressure easily punc-
tures skin, causing serious injury,
gangrene, or death. If you are
injured by escaping oil, seek medical
attention immediately.
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
Keep hands away from the crimping
tool head when crimping.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury or death.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-
tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete crimp.
• The relief valve sounds to indicate a completed
crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief
valve, the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
1. Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions
for cable preparation and the crimping procedure.
2. Center the connector between the dies or nibs.
3. Press the trigger to advance the dies or nibs.
• Press the trigger down completely for fast
advance.
• Press the trigger down partially for slow advance.
4. Continue crimping until the pressure relief valve
activates.
Note: Pressure relief is indicated by a change in the
sound from the crimping tool and a sudden stiffen-
ing of the hydraulic hoses.
5. After achieving pressure relief, release the trigger.
The dies retract.
6. Complete the number of crimps specified by the
connector manufacturer.
7. When the tool is not in use, stop the power source
to reduce heat and wear on tool components.
