Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance

steps:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.

2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.

3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine

oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any fine piece of equipment it

needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil such as 30

weight automotive oil used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, , shown in Figure 6 will

significantly enhance the tool life.

4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto

certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.

5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping

dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.

Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a

the ratchet release lever. See Figure 6.
