E12CCXLT and E12CCXLX 12-ton Battery-powered Tools
Operation —Crimping Using KC12 or KA12 type U-style Dies
(cont’d)
Crimping Procedure
Wear eye protection when operating
or servicing this tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
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 sounds and the ram automatically
retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not
hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does
not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
1. Press the latch and open the tool head.
2. Insert the properly assembled connector into the
tool head.
3. Close the tool head.
4. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.
5. Hold the trigger down until the crimper achieves
pressure relief.
Notes: Pressure relief occurs at approximately
106 kN bar (12 tons). If you do not hear a “pop,”
the crimp is incomplete.
It is normal for the battery load display to light at
both the beginning and near the end of the crimping
cycle.
6. The ram returns automatically.
7. To stop the ram from returning fully, activate the
trigger for a brief moment. This activation will close
the retraction valve and stop the retraction motion.
8. Position the crimper for the next crimp. Repeat
Steps 4 through 6 for the number of crimps as
described in this manual.
9. Open the crimping head and remove the connector.
Notes: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a
crimp cycle is completed, push the retract button.
Pushing the retract button will result in complete retrac-
tion of the ram.
After completing the last crimp on an aluminum
connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
Retraction Stop
1. To stop the ram from returning fully, activate the
trigger for a brief moment. This activation will close
the retraction valve, stop the retraction motion, and
set the semi-automatic retraction stop position.
2. Depress the trigger to advance the ram. Hold the
trigger down until the ram automatically retracts.
The ram will partially retract to the set position and
allow the tool to be repositioned.
3. If full retraction is desired, release the trigger at the
end of the crimp.
