INTRODUCTION
The C12-ton compression tool was designed for installing tubular
compression accessories on stranded electrical conductors. Twelve tons
thrust can be developed by this hand-operated compressor.
The compressor piston can be adjusted to a position that will require a
minimum of hand pumping to compress an accessory.
Twisting the pump handle clockwise will advance the piston until the
lower die-half contacts the accessory to be compressed. Compression is
completed by pumping the pump lever. When the die-halves touch the
compression is complete.
The piston is retracted by pulling the trigger on the pump lever and
making another pumping stroke. It will retract only to the positions
previously set, thus minimizing the amount of pumping needed to
complete the next compression.
Note that all operating controls are located such that the operator need
not remove his hands from the tool.
THE C12-TON TOOL IS NOT TO BE USED FOR "HOT LINE" WORK.
