Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces
are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil.
Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for
durability but like any other equipment it needs cleaning
and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free
crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil)
used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months,
will significantly enhance the tool life.
4.
Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping
area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto certain
terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an
application.
5.
When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies,
and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position,
