4 Working with tool
Pay attention to applicable instructions regarding work on electrical
appliances before starting any work.
Make sure that the dies in the tool is right for the crimping that you are go-
ing to do. If you are unsure – contact your supplier.
The crimp-head’s fork is opened on the PVL350 by pushing the latch (6).
Make sure that the dies fit in the application and that they are in right posi
-
tion.
At PVL130P the dies are fixed by screws. The reason for this is that the dies
should not be used for frequently re-changing. When re-changing the dies,
you loosen the screws and put in the new dies in the fork.
OBSERVE
that the
biggest crimp gap shall be placed in the bottom of the fork. Crimp the dies
easily against each other with the trigger (1) and fastening the screws. The
crimping procedure starts with pressing the trigger (1) and it is recommen-
ded to first make a light pressure on the trigger to position the connector
right in the tool and make sure that the cable is fully placed in the connec-
tor. After this the crimp procedure continues so that the tool automatically
is returned to its starting position.

trigger bottom (1).
• The crimping dies can be returned to its starting position at any moment

• The crimping has achieved its highest power when the dies are returned
automatically. This is the normal way of working and ensures that the
crimping is totally performed.
