ATTENTION:
The crimping process can be interrupted at any time by releasing the trigger.
After having terminated the crimping process and prior to changing the heads,
remove battery to avoid unintended starts.
NOTE:
•
By sliding the retract slide in the direction of the battery, the dies can be retracted in case of
an error or emergency.
•
The terminal can first be pre-clamped. This allows the operator to adjust the position of the
terminal during the crimping cycle. To use this feature, push the trigger until the die contacts
the terminal and then release the trigger. The terminal can now be re-positioned or even the
wire can still be inserted into the terminal.
•
The crimping cycle is terminated when the dies are completely closed and the maximum
crimping force is reached, which is indicated by the auto retraction of the piston.
