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.

tool to adjust tool handle preload force. Listed

below are the steps required to adjust the crimping

force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp

conditions:

1. Remove or fold back the handle grip from the handle to expose the eccentric axle and setting wheel.

2. Remove the locking screw with a 2mm hex wrench. The wrench set (63810-0101), is not supplied. It is sold

separately from the hand tool.

3. Turn the eccentric axle and setting wheel with the wrench or pliers Counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle

force.

4. Replace the locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.

5. Replace the handle grip.

6. Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
