Failure to wear eye protection could
result in serious eye injury from
flying debris or hydraulic oil.
Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for

punctures skin causing serious
injury, gangrene, or death. If injured,
seek medical help immediately to
remove oil.
Do not use solvents or flammable
liquids to clean the crimping tool.
Solvents or flammable liquids could
ignite and cause serious injury or
property damage.
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 com-
pleted 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.
