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.

protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not

lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil such as 30 weight automotive oil used
at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months, shown in Figure 6 will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
5. 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.
