4. OPERATION
4.1. Battery Installation and Removal
(Refer to Figure 1)
The batteries Directive 2006/66/EC introduces new requirements from September 2008 on removability of batteries
from waste equipment in EU Member States. To comply with this Directive, this device is designed to allow the
rechargeable battery pack to be easily removed by the end--user when it needs to be replaced.
To install the battery, slide the battery into the bottom of the crimp tool until it can go no further. There will be an
audible “click” of the battery lock to indicate that the battery has been properly installed.
To remove the battery, disengage the battery lock by applying pressure on the lock toward the bottom of the
tool and slide the battery away from the tool.
Always dispose of the old battery pack in an environmentally--responsible way, in accordance with local waste
regulations. Where possible, please recycle the battery cartridge. Contact your local authority for details of battery
recycling locations in your area.
The following procedure provides only general information concerning crimping. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the dies for detailed information, including wire stripping dimensions and instructions for
positioning terminals and splices in the dies.
4.2. Operation of the SDE Battery Powered Crimp Tool
To operate the SDE Battery Powered Crimp Tool:
To avoid personal injury, keep fingers clear of the crimping area.
1. Insert the terminal into the dies.
2. Depress the trigger to advance the moving jaw in order to hold the terminal in place. Do NOT deform
the terminal body.
3. Place a pre--stripped wire in the barrel of the terminal.
4. Depress and hold the trigger to complete the crimp. The crimp tool returns automatically to the first
position of its cycle when the crimp is complete.
If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimping cycle is completed, push the release switch. Pushing the release
switch will result in the complete retraction of the ram. Only kits 1725837--1, --2, and --5 have a release switch.
This tool is not designed for continuous operation. After 100 cycles, allow the crimp tool to cool for 15 minutes.
5. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1. Daily Maintenance
Perform the following maintenance on a daily basis:
1. Inspect the dies for wear or damage such as cracks, gouges, or chips.
2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks. If damage is detected, return the tool to TE for repair
3. Clean the tool, removing accumulations of dirt and grease on the head, particularly in areas where
dies are installed and terminals are crimped. Wipe the entire tool frequently with a clean, lint--free cloth.
5.2. Yearly Maintenance
Once a year, or every 10,000 cycles (whichever comes first) The SDE Battery Powered Crimp Tool should be
returned to TE for inspection.
