or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or
property damage. The signal word, dened 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
electrical lines, use proper personal
protective 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
punctures skin. If injured, seek
medical attention immediately to
remove oil.
Failure to observe this warning
could result in serious injury, gan-
grene, 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 die, connector, and cable combina-
tions. 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.

terminals.
• Do not immerse the batteries in liquid. Liquid may
create a short circuit and damage the battery.
If batteries are immersed, contact your service
center for proper handling.
• Do not place the battery into a pocket, tool pouch,
or tool box with conductive objects. Conductive
objects may create a short circuit and damage the
battery.

Steps 2 and 3 for the number of crimps as
described in this manual.
Note: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimp-
ing cycle is completed, push the retract button. Pushing
the retract button will result in the complete retraction of
the ram.
An incomplete crimp can cause a re.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-
tions. 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.
