For a cUL or UL classified crimp, see the
connector table in this instruction manual.
Preparation
1. Select a proper size and type of connector to
correspond with the wire or cable.
2. Strip the cable to an appropriate length. Follow the
connector manufacturer’s instructions.
Note: Apply an oxide inhibitor, if required. See the
connector manufacturer’s instructions.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
Use proper connector and cable combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
crimp.
The relief valve will sound and the crimping tool
automatically retracts when a complete crimp has
been achieved. If you do not hear a “pop” and the
crimping tool does not automatically retract, the
crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
