or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or

property damage. The signal word, dened below,

indicates the severity of the hazard. The message

after the signal word provides information for pre-

venting or avoiding the hazard.

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result

in severe injury or death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in

severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,

MAY result in injury or property damage.

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information

in this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

This tool is not insulated. When using

this unit on or near energized electri-

cal lines, use proper personal protec-

tive equipment.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection could

result in serious eye injury from ying

debris or hydraulic oil.

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. Oil under pressure easily punc-

tures skin. If injured, seek medical

attention immediately to remove oil.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in serious injury, gangrene, or

death.

Do not use solvents or ammable

liquids to clean the tool body.

Solvents or ammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper connector and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete

crimp.

• The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically

retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not

hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does

not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

Pinch points:

• Remove battery before changing

adapters or jaws.

Dieless Battery-powered Crimping Tool

Pressure Sensor

This tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts

the user of an incomplete crimp.

• If the tool is manually retracted before completion of a

crimp, the red LED and an audible beep will be active

for 2 seconds.

• If the tool is unable to reach the required crimp force,

the red LED, work light, and an audible beep will pulse

until after the trigger is released.

Preparation

For a cUL or UL classied crimp, refer to the

“Connector Table” in this instruction manual.

1. Select a proper size and type of connector to

correspond with the wire or cable.

2. Strip the cable to an appropriate length. Follow the

connector manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: Apply an oxide inhibitor, if required.

Refer to the connector manufacturer’s instructions.

Crimping

1. Insert the cable fully into the connector.

2. Place the connector into the V of the crimping head,

as shown below.

Connector

3. If open, close the crimping head. Make sure the

head and latch are fully engaged.

4. For a cUL or UL classied crimp, complete the

number of crimps specied in the “Connector Table”

in this manual.

5. For a single crimp, position the connector so the

crimp will be located at the center of the barrel.

6. Depress the trigger to advance the indenter. Hold

the trigger down until the indenter automatically

begins to retract.

Note: If the crimping tool does not automatically

retract, the crimp is incomplete.

It is normal for the battery load display to light at

both the beginning and near the end of the crimping

cycle.

7. Release the trigger until the indenter retracts

completely.

8. To stop the ram from returning fully, activate the

trigger for a brief moment. This activation will close

the retraction valve and stop the retraction motion.

9. Lift the latch to open the crimping head and remove

the connector.

Note: If it is necessary to retract the indenter before

a crimp cycle is complete, push the retract button.

Pushing the retract button will result in complete

retraction of the indenter.

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper connector and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete

crimp.

• The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically

retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not

hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does

not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.
