9. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note: To maintain a good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be
followed.
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. 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 hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. When 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
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 lifting the ratchet release lever. See Figure 3.
