Instruction Sheet for Z80-255 Hand Crimp Tool
CARE OF TOOL
Although the Rigidus tool is engineered for durability, it is recommended that the following
maintenance points are observed, to maximise the life of the tool.
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.
3. All pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces should
be covered with a thin coat of high-quality
machine oil – do not oil excessively. Light oil
(such as 30 weight automotive oil) used at the
oil points shown in the diagram, is
recommended.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from
the crimping area. Oil transferred onto crimp
contacts may affect the electrical characteristics
of the connector.
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.
