Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool
be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture and other
contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint-
free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could
damage the tool.
3.
Make certain all pins; pivot points and
bearing surfaces in the tool head are
protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This
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. The use of light oil, such as 30 weight automotive oil, every
5,000 crimps or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 8A
or 8B for lubrication points.
4.
Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.

Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify commercial grade hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for
customers to re-certify hand tools.
This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
