7.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the tool and/or be supplied to
supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection per month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company
standards. These inspections should be performed in
the following sequence:
A. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all retaining pins are in place
and are secured with retaining rings. If
replacements are necessary, refer to the parts list
in Figure 11.
3. Inspect crimping areas for pitted or chipped
surfaces.
4. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
then allow handles to open freely. If they do not
open quickly and fully, the spring is defective and
must be replaced. Refer to Section 8,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
B. Gaging the Crimping Areas
This inspection requires the use of plug gages
conforming to the dimensions listed in Figures 8
and 9. Tyco Electronics does not manufacture or
market these gages.
To gage the crimping area(s), refer to Figure 10 and
proceed as follows:
1. Close the crimping areas by squeezing the tool
handles together until the crimping dies have
bottomed, and then HOLD the tool handles in this
position. Do not force the dies beyond initial
contact.
