Preparation

For a cUL or UL classified crimp, refer to the 

“Connector Table” in this instruction manual.

1.  Select a proper size and type of connector to  

correspond with the wire or cable.

2.  Strip the cable to an appropriate length. Follow the 

connector manufacturer’s instructions.

Note:  Apply an oxide inhibitor, if required.  

Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions.

Crimping

1.  Insert the cable fully into the connector.
2.  Place the connector into the V of the crimping head, 

as shown below.

Connector

3.  If open, close the crimping head. Make sure the 

head and latch are fully engaged.

4.  For a cUL or UL classified crimp, complete the 

number of crimps specified in the “Connector Table” 

in this manual.

5.  For a single crimp, position the connector so the 

crimp will be located at the center of the barrel.

6.  Depress the trigger to advance the indenter. Hold 

the trigger down until the indenter automatically 

begins to retract.

Note:  If the crimping tool does not automatically 

retract, the crimp is incomplete.
It is normal for the battery load display to light at 

both the beginning and near the end of the crimping 

cycle.

7.  Release the trigger until the indenter retracts  

completely. 

8.  To stop the ram from returning fully, activate the 

trigger for a brief moment. This activation will close 

the retraction valve and stop the retraction motion.

9.  Lift the latch to open the crimping head and remove 

the connector.

Note:  If it is necessary to retract the indenter before 

a crimp cycle is complete, push the retract button. 

Pushing the retract button will result in complete 

retraction of the indenter.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
•  Use proper connector and cable combinations. 

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete 

crimp.

•  The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically 

retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do 

not hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram 

does not automatically retract, the crimp is not 

complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 

severe injury or death.
