The crimping operation can be interrupted at any time during the cycle by releasing the trigger.
4. The crimping cycle is complete when the dies are completely closed and the maximum crimping force is
reached. The dies will automatically release and will go back to their original position.
Note: In case of an error or emergency, the ram can be retracted before the crimping cycle is complete. To do
this push the retractor slide towards the battery. See Figure 3-1.
Warning: DO NOT crimp copper and AI conducting material together or special connecting material. If
a different conducting material has to be crimped, please contact the manufacturer.
WARNING
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations. Improper combinations can result in an incomplete crimp.
The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief valve,
the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in severe injury or death.
