Crimping Cable
1. Insert the properly assembled connector into the
crimping head.
2. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.
3. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool
achieves pressure relief, which is accompanied by
an audible “pop”.
4. The crimping tool returns automatically.
5. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat
Steps 2 and 3 for the number of crimps as
described in this manual.
Note: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimp-
ing cycle is completed, push the retract button. Pushing
the retract button will result in the complete retraction of
the ram.
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-
tions. 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.
