3. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool
achieves pressure relief, which is accompanied by
an audible "pop".
4. The crimping tool returns automatically.
5. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat
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
crimping 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 fire.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combina-
tions. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete crimp.
• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed
crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief
valve, the crimp is not complete.
Failure to observe these warnings could result in
severe injury or death.
