IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Electrical shock hazard:
This tool is not insulated. When
using this unit near energized
electrical lines, use only certified
non- conductive hoses and proper
personal protective equipment.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for
•
leaks.
Depressurize the hydraulic system
•
before servicing.
Oil under pressure easily punctures
skin causing serious injury, gangrene
or death. If you are injured by
escaping oil, seek medical attention
immediately.
Wear eye protection when using this
tool.
Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
Pinch points:
Keep hands away from closing dies.
Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Use proper die, connector, and wire combinations.
Mismatched components can result in an incomplete
crimp. Failure to complete a crimp could result in
severe injury, death, or fire if a connection separates
or if it has high electrical resistance.
Inspect tool and dies before use. Replace any worn
or damaged parts. A damaged or improperly assem-
bled tool can break and strike nearby personnel with
sufficient force to cause severe injury or death.
Do not operate crimping tool without dies in place.
•
Damage to the ram or crimping tool head may
result.
Do not perform any service or maintenance other
•
than as described in this manual. Injury or damage
to the tool may result.
Follow the operating instructions and safety informa-
tion supplied with the hydraulic power source.
