7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
7.1. Daily Maintenan e
Tyco Electronics recommends that operators of the
tool be made aware of, and are responsible for, the
following steps of daily maintenance.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT use hard or
abrasive objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
grade SAE 20 motor oil.
Do
no
t oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the crimping jaws.
5. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
7.2. Periodi Inspe tion
Regular inspection of the tool should be performed by
quality control personnel. A record of the scheduled
inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied
to supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Inspection frequency should be based on:
S
amount of use;
S
working conditions;
S
operator training and skill; and
S
established company standards.
7.3. Visual Inspe tion
The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular
basis to ensure they have not become worn or
damaged. Inspect the crimp sections for flattened,
chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage or
abnormal wear is evident, the tool must be replaced.
Refer to Section 8, PARTS REPLACEMENT.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will NOT affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
and then allow the handles to open freely. If they
do not open quickly and fully, the spring is
defective and must be replaced.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and the
pivot points. If damage is evident, replace it. If
damage is not evident, lubricate the pivot point and
return the tool to service.
5. Check the dies occasionally to make sure the
dies are not broken or chipped. If damage is
evident, replace them.
