1. Select the appropriate dies for the connector and conductor to be compressed. Incorrect combinations result in inferior
connections between the connector and conductor and are an electrical hazard.
2. Never operate the tool without dies installed.
3. Always point the tool away from other people.
4. If the tool is stored for an extended period at a temperature of less than 25º F (-5º C), the tool should be allowed to return to
room temperature to ensure smooth operation. Use the tool only after it has been at room temperature for 1 hour.
5. Do not drop the tool. Dropping the tool may damage the hydraulic circuit and cause malfunctions.
6. Keep the head and ram clean and free of debris. Solvents can be used to clean the head but should not be used on the
plastic body. Use soap & water to clean the body.
