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.
