Preparing the Connection


WARNING: Always follow the specific
manufacturer's installation instructions for
crimping tool dies being used. It is the installer's
responsibility to ensure the compatibility of the cable
and connectors used for the crimp. Failure to follow
all instructions and warnings may result in property
damage and/or serious personal injury.
1. Before operating, make sure that the work area and the

and that the tool and work area have been properly
set up.
2. Prepare the connectors and cable according to the
manufacturer's specifications.
3. Make sure the cable is inserted to the proper depth
in the connector in accordance with the connector
manufacturer's specifications.
Crimping (Fig. A, D)

WARNING: An incomplete crimp can cause

Required Maintenance

Maintenance is required when the crimping tool reaches
15,000 cycles. Warning indicators will illuminate on the
diagnostic panel 10 as follows.
1. Maintenance warning at 14,500 cycles (Maintenance
LED lights yellow continuously)
2. Final maintenance warning at 14,900 cycles
(Maintenance LED flashes yellow continuously)
3. Needs service at 15,000 cycles (Maintenance LED lights
red for 10 seconds then turns tool off automatically).
At 15,000 cycles, the tool will no longer run. Take your
tool to a local dealer or authorized service center for
maintenance and recalibration.
