IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards

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 die, 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

dies, adapters, or jaws.

• Keep hands away from the crimp-

ing tool head when crimping.

injury from harmful fumes or burns from ying debris.

Remove the battery before transporting the T version

of this tool by air.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe

injury or death.

• Inspect tool and dies before use. Replace any

worn or damaged parts. A damaged or improp-

erly assembled tool can break and strike nearby

personnel.

• Carrying strap is for carrying only, not to be used to

hang or suspend tool.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

• Do not use this tool for continuous use. After 30 to

40 cycles, allow the tool to cool for 15 minutes.

• Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended

purpose only.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury or property damage.

Do not allow anything to contact the battery

terminals.

• Do not immerse the batteries in liquid. Liquid may

create a short circuit and damage the battery. If bat-

teries 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.

• Do not place a battery on moist ground or grass.

or less than –4 °F (–20 °C). Damage to the battery

can result.

• Do not use another manufacturer’s charger. Other

manufacturers’ chargers may overcharge and

damage the battery.

• Do not attempt to open the battery. It contains no

user-serviceable parts.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury or property damage.

Do not perform any service or maintenance other than

as described in this manual. Injury or damage to the

EK6ATLT and EK6ATLX Battery-powered Crimping Tools

Operation (cont’d)

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

Follow the lug manufacturer’s instructions for appropri-

ate cable strip length.

Crimping Procedure

sert cable fully into connector. Center the connec-

tor between the nibs.

RIGHT

WRONG

Small connectors may become

wedged between the nibs of the tool.

Center the connector between the

four nibs before crimping.

Failure to observe this precaution

may cause property damage.

2. Pull the trigger to advance the nibs. Hold the trigger

down until the pressure relief valve activates.

Note: Pressure relief occurs at approximately

690 bar (10,000 psi) and is indicated by an audible

“pop.”

3. After achieving pressure relief, the ram automatically

returns to the start position and the nibs retract.

4 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.

5. Complete the number of crimps specied by the

connector manufacturer.

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper die, 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.
