Maintenance
Each Operating Day
Before use:
1. Inspect dies for wear or damage such as cracks,
gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks. If damage is
detected, return the tool to an authorized Greenlee
service center for inspection.
Skin injection hazard:

punctures skin causing serious

seek medical help immediately to
remove oil.

mild detergent.

liquids to clean the crimping tool.
