MAINTENANCE
A.
Blade Dulling
1.
As the
tool's blade,
used to cut off the
excess wire as part
of
the crimping
operation, becomes
dull
from use, it tends to
flex
around the wire and makes
an
angular
cut, rather than a straight cut (see diagrams
at right). This
leaves
excess conductor
sticking out, and may cause the
plug
not to
seat
properly
in
an
RJ-45 jack.
2.
If this situation
is
starting to occur with your
EZ-RJ® Hand
Tool,
there
is
one temporary
and one more permanent
solution. Until
you
are
able
to order and receive replacement
blades
(the more permanent solution), you
may enhance the cutting performance
of
the
tool
by
simply
bending the leads,
that stick
out
of
the
plug,
up (toward the
blade)
at a
45-degree
angle. This
allows the
blade
to dig
in
to the conductor
resulting
in
a straighter
cut (see diagrams at
right).
B.
Blade Replacement
1.
The part number for
EZ-RJ® replacement
blade
is 364646-01. Two replacement
blades
and a
Phillips
screw that
is
used to retain the
blade
in
the EZ-RJ45
tool
are provided.
