Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for,
the following maintenance steps:
6. This tool was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of equipment, it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping
7. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint-free
cloth.
8. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
9. Make certain all pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces in the tool head are protected with a thin coat of high quality
machine oil. Do not oil excessively. Use light oil, such as SAE 30 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps or
monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 2-16 for lubrication points.
10. Store the tool in a clean and dry area when not in use.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital components
