Right or Left Hand Operation

This hand tool has an added feature that can be

converted from a right handed application to a left

handed application. It is necessary to reverse the

tooling if using the left handed application along with the

locator. Follow the steps below:

1. The locator must be removed before reversing the

tooling.

2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling.

3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS.

Make sure the small markings on the front and back of the hand tool

frame match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See

Figure 8 and 9.

4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be

sure the small markings line up.

5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator

replacement section.

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.
