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 64001-2800
was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of equipment it needs cleaning
and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. A light oil, such as
30 weight automotive oil used at the oil points shown in Figure 4, every 5,000 crimps
or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4. 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.

force the handles
open or closed
. The tool will open easily by lifting the ratchet release
lever. See Figure 5.
How to Adjust Tool Preload
(See Figure 5)
Over the life of the tool, it may be necessary to adjust tool handle preload force. Listed
below are the steps required to
adjust the crimping force of the
hand tool to obtain proper crimp
conditions:
1. Remove the screw and plastic
cover washer. Note the setting
wheel position.
2. Lift the setting wheel off the
axle. Turn the eccentric axle
with a screwdriver.
3. Turning the eccentric axle
counter-clockwise (CCW) will
increase handle force.
4. Replace the setting wheel to
the axle, aligning the nearest
notch in the setting wheel to the dowel pin.
