• Check the battery is in perfect state. If the battery is damaged, it must be changed.

WARNING: always keep your fingers, hands and any foreign body away from the clamp during the crimping
cycle. Lack of application of this instruction may cause severe body injury.

• PLACE THE INSERTS OR MINI-JAW ONTO
THE COUPLING. Open the clamp by hand by pressing both ends. Place the coupling
between the clamp jaws. Release the clamp's jaws and align the jaw
profile on the coupling.

the mini-jaw.
