Instruction Manual Crimping Tool

The new tools feature an integrated pressure sen-
sor which automatically identi
fi
es the achieved crim-
ping force during every crimping operation. If a de-
viation from the set operation pressure is identi
fi
ed,
an acoustic signal sounds and a red display
fl
ashes
(tab. 1).
A white LED illuminates the working space after ac-
tivating the trigger. It automatically switches off 10
sec. after releasing the trigger. This feature can be
deactivated (see page III)
Through an optional USB adapter a report can be
generated at the end of a working session at a PC
documenting the proper function of the tool.
The compact ergonomically formed design consists
of 2 components. The grip area is rubber coated
and therefore slip resistent. The housing design is
optimized in respect of the center of gravity which
improves the handling and supports fatique-proof
working.
All tool functions can be controlled by
one
trigger.
This results in an easy handling and a better grip
compared to a two button operation.
Li-Ion batteries do neither have a memory effect nor
self discharge. Even after long periods of non ope-
ration the tool is always ready to operate. In addition
we see a lower power weight ratio with 50% more
capacity and shorter charging cycles compared to
NiMH batteries.
The oil used in our tool is particularly environmen-
tally friendly and and has been rewarded „
The Blue
Angel
“. The oil is also suitable for low temperatures
and has excellent lubrication characteristics.
3.3 Description of the tool indication
See Tab. 1.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery
(pic. 1, 2) should have been tested. A low charging level
can be detected by the
fl
ashing of the LED (pic. 1, 1) for
20 s at the end of a crimping cycle.
4. Remarks in respect of the determined
use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must
be safeguarded that there are no live parts in the imme-
diate assembly area of the user. If this not possible spe-
cial precaution measures (
e.g. acc. to EN 50110-1
) for working
near live parts must be provided.
Keep your working area clean and tidy. Do not use this
tool when you are tired, on drugs, had alcohol or if you
are medicated.
The XXX-L is also available as an XXX-L INS with an in-
sulated head which is specially designed for working near
live lines.

4.1 Operation of the unit
Cycle: see pictures in front
The crimping head should be turned into the desired po-
sition before starting the crimping cycle. It is signi
fi
cantly
easier to turn the crimping head in a pressure free state.
Attention
After having terminated the working cycle and
prior to changing the dies remove battery to
avoid unintended use. Avoid unintended starts.
Make sure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Attention
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Attention
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Attention
Use safety gear and always wear eye protec-
tion.
4.2 Explanation of the application range
The electric hydraulic unit can be operated with a large
number of various crimping dies.
Attention
Do only crimp those connecting materials men-
tioned in Tab. 2.
If different conducting materials have to be crimped,
please contact the manufacturer.
Attention
Do not crimp on live cables or conductors.
The tool is not insulated.
The unit is a hand held tool and it is not supposed to be
restrained in a vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a
stationary application.
The tool is not designed for continued operations. After
a sequence of approximately 50 completed cycles you
have to make a break of 15 min. to give the tool time to
cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for
the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks
can occur which might ignite highly in
fl
ammab-
le or explosive liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic tools should not be operated
in pouring rain or under water.
4.3 Mounting instructions
Please read the assembly instructions in our general ca-
talogue.
Attention
Even if the code number is identical only those
dies should be used which are suitable for the
material.
