Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side
and replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the
small markings on the front and back of
the hand tool frame match up and are on
the outside of the hand tool frame. See
Figures 8 and 9.
4.
Do the same thing with the lower tooling
and tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the
small markings line up.
5.
Reinstall the locator by following the
instructions in the locator replacement
section.
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 a 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 are
protected with a thin coat of high-quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively. The tool was engineered for durability, but like any
other equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum
service life of trouble-free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight
automotive oil) used at the oil points every 5,000 crimps or 3
months will significantly enhance the tool life. See Figure 10.
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 the 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.
