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.
