6 Maintenance and inspection
Each die assembly is inspected before shipment. When it arrives at your facility, inspect it immediately to
ensure that it was not damaged during shipping.
6.1 Daily maintenance
Make each operator aware of (and responsible for) the following daily maintenance requirements:
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth.
Do not
use objects that could damage the dies or tool.
When the dies are not in use, store them in a clean, dry area.
6.2 Periodic inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies or be supplied to personnel responsible for the dies. Perform at least one
inspection per month. Base your inspection frequency on the amount of use, ambient working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company standards. Perform the inspection as follows:
1. Remove all contaminants with a clean, soft brush or soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use objects that could
damage the dies.
2. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or broken areas.
3.
If damage or abnormal wear is evident, replace the tool or dies. Refer to section
