2. RECEIVING/INSPECTION

The 12 Ton Pistol Grip Battery Powered Crimp Tool Kit 2280308-[ ] is thoroughly inspected during and after

assembly. Prior to packaging and shipping, a final series of tests and inspections is made to ensure proper

functioning of the tool. The following inspection should be performed as a safeguard against potential problems

generated in transit.

1. In a well-lighted area, carefully uncrate the tool and inspect each component as it is removed from the

crate.

2. Thoroughly inspect each component for evidence of damage that may have occurred in transit. If any

of the components are damaged, file a claim against the carrier and notify TE Connectivity

immediately.

3. Keep this manual and all drawings and product samples with the tool for the benefit of operation and

maintenance personnel.

The crimp tool should be inspected at regularly scheduled intervals, depending on card, degree of operator

skill, the type and size of product being crimped, and environmental conditions. At a minimum, the tool should

be inspected after every 40 hours of use.
