BATTERY OPERATED
HYDRAULIC CRIMPING TOOL
This “BP4UCR” hydraulic tool is powered by 9.6 V DC
Ni-MH battery. The tool is well balanced for optimum
control, quiet operation, very little vibration and
lightweight construction enabling the operator to hold the
tool in one hand while positioning the connector with the
other hand. It is equipped with an automatic system that
opens the dies once the crimping operation is completed.
The residual battery capacity level is automatically
displayed after every cycle

(Ref: Check Thomas & Betts instruction sheet for the
connector and make sure die code matches die code of
connector.)
• If using ‘W’ dies refer to section 2.5.
• Insert the conductor in the connector.
• Position the connector between the groove or dies and
ensure the correct location of the crimp. (See connector(s)
instruction sheet for number of crimps.)
PREPARATION (Refer to Figs. 1, 2 & 3)
WARNING
