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.

4. 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.

Warranty

This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital

components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30

days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will

not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping,

fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.

CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.

Notes:

1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.

2. This tool is not adjustable for crimp height, however crimp force is adjustable (See instructions above).

Variations in tools, terminals, wire stranding and insulation types may affect crimp height.

3. This tool is intended for standard conductor sizes. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all

insulation sizes.

4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts

available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.

5. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no

influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.), so the insulation grips

on the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping

Handbook 63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.

6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.

7. Hand held crimping tools are intended for low volume, prototyping, or repair requirements only.

CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
