3 Toothed wheel to adjust the torque (with locking screw)
4 Insert pair
Replacing the insert pairs
The package includes a total of 6 insert pairs. Both parts of the insert pairs are labelled with
“E1” to “E6”.
To remove an insert pair from the crimp pliers, open the crimp pliers and then simply pull the two
parts forward and out. Afterwards, insert the other desired insert pair fully into the crimp pliers.
Pay attention that you always insert the two matching parts of an insert pair into the
crimp pliers (which have the same labelling, e.g. “E1”). Otherwise, you won’t be able
to carry out the crimping correctly, and you run the risk of damaging the crimp pliers
or the inserts.
Crimping process
Depending on the available crimp-type connector, select the suitable insert pair for the crimp
pliers and insert the crimp-type connector into the correct opening.
Press the handles (1) of the crimp pliers
fi
rmly together. The transmission mechanism in the
handle causes an increase of the torque.
If the torque selected via the toothed wheel (3) is attained, the forced lock and thus the handles
are automatically released and the crimp-type connector can be removed.
Adjusting the torque
First, unscrew the locking screw of the toothed wheel (3) com-
pletely. In this process, the crimp pliers must not be pressed
together; rather, the handles have to be fully open.
Move the toothed wheel in the “-” direction to decrease the torque
or in the “+” direction to increase the torque.
Secure the toothed wheel (3) again with the screw that you
unscrewed at the beginning (under the toothed wheel there are
two threads (see circle in the image to the right) which enable the
adjustment of the torque in a total of 12 stages).
Releasing the automatic lock via the release lever
In the event of a wrong crimping, the automatic lock of the crimp pliers can be released before
completing the process by moving the release lever (2) with e.g. a screw driver in direction of
the front side (inserts).
Afterwards, the handles can be moved apart and you can remove the faulty crimp-type con-
nector.
