SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. Oil under pressure easily

punctures skin. If injured, seek

medical attention immediately to

remove oil.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in serious injury, gangrene or

death.

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection can

result in serious eye injury from

flying debris or hydraulic oil.

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information

in this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning can

result in severe injury or death.

Do not use solvents or flammable

cleaners to clean the tool body.

Solvents could ignite, causing

serious injury or property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire. Use proper

die, connector and cable combinations.

• Improper combinations can result in an incom-

plete crimp.

• An audible “pop” indicates that the crimping tool

has achieved a complete crimp. If you do not

hear a “pop” the crimp is incomplete.

Failure to observe this warning can result in severe

injury or death.

• Keep hands away from the

crimping tool head when crimping.

• Lock trigger when not in use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Note: Keep decals clean and legible. Replace decals

when necessary.

Inspect tool before use. Replace any worn or dam-

aged parts. A damaged or improperly assembled

tool can break and strike nearby personnel.

Failure to observe this warning can result in severe

injury or death.

• Do not operate tool without dies. Damage to the

ram or crimping head may result.

• Do not use this tool for continuous use. After

30 – 40 crimping cycles, allow the tool to cool for

15 minutes.

• Do not secure this tool in a vise. A vise can

damage the housing.

• Protect the tool from moisture. Any moisture

inside the housing can damage internal circuitry.

• Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended use

only.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in

injury or property damage.

Do not perform any service or maintenance other

than as described in this manual. Injury or damage

to the tool may result.

Failure to observe this precaution can result in

injury and property damage.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They will vent

fumes and may explode.

Failure to observe this warning can result in

severe injury from harmful fumes or burns from

flying debris.

Do not allow anything to contact the battery

terminals.

• Do not immerse the batteries in liquid. Liquid

may create a short circuit and damage the

battery. If batteries are immersed, contact your

service center for proper handling.

• Do not place the battery into a pocket, tool

pouch or tool box with conductive objects.

Conductive objects may create a short circuit

and damage the battery.

• Do not place a battery on moist ground or

grass. Moisture may create a short circuit and

damage the battery.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in

injury or property damage.

• Do not store the battery at more than 60°C

(140°F). Damage to the battery can result.

• Do not use another manufacturer’s charger.

Other manufacturers’ chargers may overcharge

and damage the battery.

• Do not attempt to open the battery. It contains

no user-serviceable parts.

Failure to observe these precautions can result in

injury or property damage.

The battery indicator illuminates to show battery charge

level as follows:

Normal: Illuminates momentarily at beginning of crimp.

Normal: Flickering at point of maximum crimping force.

Low charge: Flickering during entire crimping cycle.

Low charge: Illuminates continuously when operating

without a load.

1. Clean the die seat area.

2. Install the proper size and type of crimping dies.

3. Insert one of the die halves into the ram by pressing

the die stem into the hole located in the ram.

4. Insert the other die half into the C-head by pressing

the die stem into the hole located in the C-head.

The die half can then be locked in place by tighten-

ing the lock screw.

5. Follow the connector manufacturer’s instructions

for appropriate cable strip length and surface

preparation.

6. Insert cable fully into connector and center the

connector between the dies.

7. Press the trigger lock button to release the trigger.

8. Using the sequence illustrated here, press the

trigger to advance the dies. Continue to crimp until

the pressure relief valve activates.

Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately

106 kN (12 tons) and is indicated by

an audible “pop.”

9. After achieving pressure relief, the ram will auto-

matically return to the start position and the dies will

retract.

10. Complete the number of crimps specified by the

connector manufacturer.

11. Remove connector from crimper.

Note: After completing the last crimp on an

aluminum connector, wipe off the excess

oxide inhibitor.
