SYMBOL

Read and understand all of the 

instructions and safety information  

in this manual before operating or 

servicing this tool.
Failure to observe this warning 

could result in severe injury or death.

Wear eye protection when operating 

or servicing this tool.

flying debris or hydraulic oil. 

Do not use solvents or flammable 

liquids to clean the crimping tool. 

Solvents or flammable liquids could 

ignite and cause serious injury or 

property damage.

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 will sound to indicate a com-

pleted crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the 

relief valve, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in 

severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When 

using this unit near energized 

electrical lines, use proper personal 

protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning could

Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for  

oil leaks. High pressure oil easily 

punctures skin causing serious 

injury, gangrene, or death. If injured, 

seek medical help immediately to 

remove oil.
