information contained in this manual and pay

particular attention to DANGER, CAUTION, and

NOTE statements.

3. DESCRIPTION

The pneumatic handle assembly features a molded

nylon handle with a trigger and an air tube. The handle

holds an air cylinder with a key which retains the

terminating head in the body and allows the head to

be rotated. Refer to Figure 2.

In this use, the handle assembly noise level with the

terminating head emits a maximum of 78 dB, and the

vibration level is less than 2.5 mm/s².

4. HEAD INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL

DANGER

STOP

To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect

handle assembly from the air supply when installing

or removing the terminating head.

1. Disconnect and/or lockout the tool from its air

supply.

2. Position the blade tip of a screwdriver between

the shoulder of the key and the handle assembly

body. Pry and remove the key.

4. Re-insert the key to retain the head.

5. To remove the head, remove the key and pull the

head out of the handle assembly.

5. SETUP

It is recommended that a regulator-filter-lubricator unit

with the lubricator adjusted to the minimum setting be

used with the handle assembly. Refer to Figure 4.

It is also recommended that quick-disconnect fittings

are used to connect the tool to the air supply. If not

using quick-disconnect fittings, provide a pneumatic

lock-out on the air line that bleeds air after it is turned

off.

The handle assembly is designed to operate with an

air pressure range of 276 to 483 kPa [40 to 70 psi].

Service life can be greatly extended when only the

necessary air pressure is applied. Excessive pressure

causes wear and strain on handle assembly

components and the connectors.

CAUTION

!

Do not use this tool as a blunt object, a crushing

device, or for any purpose other than crimping the

proper specified product. Inappropriate use of the

tool could result in personal injury or damage to the

tool.
