adjustment wheel.

2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel

from the front side of the tool.

tighter crimp is required, rotate the adjustment

wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a

higher--numbered setting. If a looser crimp is

required, rotate the adjustment wheel

CLOCKWISE to a lower--numbered setting.

4. Replace the lockscrew.

height. If the dimension is acceptable, replace and

secure the lockscrew. If the dimension is

unacceptable, continue to adjust the ratchet, and

7. MAINTENANCE

Ensure that the tool and dies are clean by wiping

them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debris with

a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could

damage the tool. When not in use, keep handles

closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in

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

8. VISUAL INSPECTION

The crimping dies should be inspected on a regular

basis to ensure that 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.

See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.

9. REPLACEMENT

Available separately, Repair Kit 679221--1 includes a
