− Operate push-button (17) housed inside the pressure release 

button (16) to activate the motor-pump for the advancement of the 
lower die. To halt the advancement, release the push button (17) 
and the motor (24) will cut out.

− Press the pressure release button(16) to retract the ram and 

open the dies.

To replace dies proceed as follows: (Refer to Figure 2)

− 

Upper die

 (91)

 

Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/head release pin (09).

− Insert replacement die until secured by the die retaining  pin (05).

− 

Lower die 

(90)

 

Take the die off its guide by pushing the die/ram release pin (12).

− Insert replacement die until secured by the die ram retaining pin (10). 

To facilitate this operation an advancement of the ram by 8-10 mm 
(0.3 - 0.4 in.) is suggested.

Make sure the dies are exactly positioned on desired crimp point, 
otherwise  re-open dies following instructions as per 2.4 and 
reposition the connector.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE

The tool can be easily carried using either the handle or shoulder strap (01) attached to rings 
(15 and 18).
With the tool at rest, prepare the tool as follows: (see Figure 2)
− Select the appropriate die set for the connector.
− Insert the die (91) in the upper seat of the tool head (04) until it is locked by die/head retaining 

pin (05). To ease the die insertion, keep die/head release pin (09) depressed.

− Operate the tool (see step 2.2) to advance the ram (14) 8-10 mm (0.3 - 0.4 in.) and insert the 

die (90) into the seat on the ram until it is locked by die/ram retaining pin (10). To ease this 
operation, keep die/ram release pin (12) depressed.

− Insert the conductor in the connector.
− Position the connector between the dies and ensure the 

correct location the crimp.

− For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate through 180°.

− Continue operating until the motor stops automatically.

COMPRESSION

2.3

In order to use the batteries correctly, please follow 
these rules:

− Use the battery until the automatic residual energy display 

still has 1-2 LEDs showing. This means the battery is almost 
completely discharged and no loss in the life of the battery has 
been caused.

− Be particularly careful when charging the new battery the first 2-3 

times in order to be certain of maximizing the available energy 
level.

− Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature prior to 

recharging.

− Rest the battery charger for at least 15 minutes between charges.

This tool is supplied with batteries completely discharged; before use, fully charge the batteries using the charger supplied.

Refer to Figure 1 and 4, pages 

2 and 5

After releasing the operating push-button, the residual battery display 
(25) automatically indicates the residual battery capacity for 5 seconds. 
The number of LED’s illuminated indicates the residual capacity:

  8 LED’s illuminated: Fully Charged
  4 LED’s illuminated: 50% Capacity
  1 LED illuminated: Minimum Charge

When replacing the battery, press the two points marked with the 
word “PUSH” at the same time, remove the battery from its housing 
and insert the new one.
