Remove the crimped terminal and inspect for acceptable crimp attributes.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware
of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean
brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3.
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,
Do Not
