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. This tool 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. Use a light oil,
such as 30 weight automotive oil at the oil points shown in Figure
4, every 5,000 crimps or monthly will significantly enhance the
tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4.
When tool is not in use store the tool in a clean, dry area.
CAUTION:
This crimp tool requires a regulated air supply line with operating pressure of 60 to 70 PSI. Higher
pressure may cause damage to the tool.
