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 a 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 tool was engineered for durability, but like any other equipment, it needs cleaning
and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight automotive oil)
used at the oil points every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from the hand tool, particularly from the crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area
onto certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When the 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.
Miscrimps or Jams (See Figure 5)
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, Do Not force the handles open or
closed. The tool will open easily by rotating the slotted screw on the locator (back) side of the hand tool. See
Figure 5.
