CT-1123 and CT-1104 TOOLS
1. With the handles in the open position, insert the ferrule
into the crimp pocket. Make sure that the ferrule is
inserted fully into the crimp die (see Figure 2). Close
handles until dies just slightly grip ferrule.
2. Insert the stripped wire into the ferrule until the wire
stops. Refer to ferrule packaging for wire strip length.
3. Crimp the ferrule by closing the handles until the
controlled cycle mechanism releases. Upon release,
the handles will open automatically and the crimped
ferrule can be removed.
NOTE: Crimp entire uninsulated ferrule length. This may
require additional crimps.

INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE
NEW TOOLS - BEFORE PLACING INTO SERVICE:
All Panduit crimping tools are inspected before they are shipped from the factory. All new tools should be inspected
before being used.
New tools are shipped, factory lubricated, in protective packaging. After inspection, simply clean any excess oil from the
crimping dies and place into service.
When the tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping area. Store
the tool in a clean, dry area.
IN SERVICE TOOLS - AFTER TOOLS HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE:
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of - and responsible for following these maintenance
steps:
In-service tools should be cleaned and inspected at least ONCE A MONTH. To clean - wipe with a clean cloth.
In-service tools should be lubricated ONCE A WEEK, and after every cleaning. Lubricate all pins, pivots and bearing
surfaces with DOW CORNING®Molykote BR2 Plus.
Be sure to clean any excess oil from the crimping dies before using.
