SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information in

this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. High pressure oil easily

result in serious eye injury from

flying debris or hydraulic oil.

Do not use solvents or flammable

liquids to clean the crimping tool.

Solvents or flammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

•Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-

tions. Improper combinations can result in an

incomplete crimp.

•The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed

crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe

injury or death.

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

fumes and may explode.

Failure to observe this warning could 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.

the battery.

Failure to observe these precautions may 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 may 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 may result in

injury and property damage.

Keep hands away from the crimping

head when crimping.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

•Do not operate the tool without dies. Damage to

the ram or crimping head can result.

•Do not operate with the crimping head open.

Damage to the ram or seals can result.

• This tool is not designed for continuous use.

After 30 to 40 crimping cycles, allow the crimping

tool to cool for 15 minutes.

•Do not place the tool in a vise. The crimping tool

is designed for hand-held operation.

• Protect the crimping tool from rain and moisture.

Water will damage the crimping tool and battery.

Installing K22, KA22, and KC22-type Dies

1. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

2. Push the die release button.

3. Slide the die into the crimping head until it “snaps”

into place.

4. Properly position the second die. Repeat Steps

2 and 3.

Installing W-type Dies

1. Push the die release button.

2. Slide the die adapter (Greenlee part number

500 4292.0) into crimping head until it “snaps”

into place.

Note: The die adapters have the “D

” die profile.

No additional dies are needed if the connector to be

crimped requires a “D

” die.

3. Repeat for the other adapter.

4. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

5. Press the locking flange and open the crimping

head.

Crimping Cable

1. Press the locking flange and open the crimping

head.

2. Insert the properly assembled connector into the

crimping head.

3. Close the crimping head.

4. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.

5. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool

achieves pressure relief.

Notes: Pressure relief occurs at approximately

690 bar (10,000 psi) and is accompanied by an

audible “pop”.

It is normal for the battery load display to light at

both the beginning and near the end of the crimping

cycle.

An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.

•Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-

tions. Improper combinations can result in an

incomplete crimp.

•The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed

crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief

valve, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

6. The crimping tool returns automatically.

7. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat

Steps 4 through 6 for the number of crimps as

described in this manual.

8. Open the crimping head and remove the connector.

Notes: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a

crimping cycle is completed, push the retract button.

Pushing the retract button will result in the complete

retraction of the ram.

After completing the last crimp with W-type dies on an

aluminum connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.

2. Return the tool to an authorized Greenlee service

center for inspection.

Checking the Oil Level

1. Remove the two screws holding the tank housing

cover.

2. Remove the tank housing cover.

3. Point the cutting head towards the ground and

remove the oil plug. Add oil if necessary.

4. Replace the oil plug and the tank housing cover.

Secure with screws.
