CK06FT Crimping Tool
Operation
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper connector and cable combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incom-
plete crimp.
• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed
crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief
valve, the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn or
damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled
tool can break and strike nearby personnel.
Failure to observe this warning could result in severe
injury or death.
Crimping
1.
Insert cable fully into connector. Center the connec-
tor between the nibs.
2.
Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger
down until the pressure relief valve activates.
Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately
690 bar (10,000 psi) and is indicated by an audible
“pop.”
3.
After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically
returns to the start position and the nibs retract.
4.
Complete the number of crimps specified by the
connector manufacturer.
Small connectors may become
wedged between the nibs of the
tool. Center the connector
between the four nibs before
crimping.
Failure to observe this precaution
may cause property damage.
