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 pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle. See Figure
11.
How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 12)

the steps required to adjust the crimping force of the hand tool to obtain
proper crimp conditions:
1. Hold the hand tool in the palm of your hand as shown in Figure 10.
