1. With a file, remove flash from connector edges.
2. Measure connector gaging with a standard micrometer. The
gaging surfaces of the connector are illustrated in Figure 3.
Measure connector gaging with a ball micrometer, or
equivalent, having a spindle diameter of 0.250. The gaging
surfaces of the connector are illustrated in Figure 4.

OPERATION CHECK
MAINTENANCE
1. Check operation of the tool periodically to ensure its proper
adjustment. Continuous use of the tool will cause gradual
wear of movable parts. This in turn will cause the preset
crimping pressure to gradually decrease and the connector
gaging to increase.
2. Once the connector gaging exceeds a specific value (based
on the size and type of wire), the connection will no longer
be acceptable.
3. At this point, discontinue use of the tool.
4. To check the operation of the SHURE STAKE
®
mechanism
and connector gaging, a specific connector/wire
combination should be crimped and its gaging measured.
ERG4811 can be gauged in a conventional manner by
measuring the die opening of a closed tool with standard
IMPORTANT: Crimped connector gaging should be checked
regularly to ensure that acceptable connections are being made.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean
brush or a soft, lint-free cloth.
2. DO NOT use on objects that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces are
protected with a THIN coat of any good SAE No. 20 motor oil.
DO NOT oil excessively.
4. Keep handles closed when not in use to prevent objects from
becoming lodged in the crimping dies.
5. Store tool in a cool, dry area.
