described in this manual.

Notes: 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.
After completing the last crimp with W-type dies on an
aluminum connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.
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.
