Make certain all pins; pivot points and
bearing surfaces are protected with a thin
coat of high quality machine oil. Do not
oil excessively. The tool was engineered
for durability but like any fine piece of
equipment it needs cleaning and
lubrication for a maximum service life of
trouble free crimping. Use a 30 weight
automotive (light) oil used at the oil
points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months,
shown in Figure 4A or 4B will significantly
enhance the tool life.
4.
Wipe excess oil from hand tool,
particularly from crimping area. Oil
transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5.
When tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming
lodged in the crimping dies, and store the tool
in a clean, dry area.
