FEATURES AND BENEFITS Battery-powered design reduces hand actuation force by up to 90%, compared to conventional ratchet hand tools. ® Jaw fits into the same envelope as conventional BURNDY ratchet hand tools, allowing the user to fit the tool into tight spaces and cabinets. Half-scissor jaw provides a stationary jaw which can be used to more easily line up the connector in the die for crimping.

PRE-OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Read and follow all PRE-OPERATION and safety instructions provided for your ® BURNDY PAT221 Crimper and Makita Battery Charger. Failure to follow the proper operating instructions and safety information provided can lead to serious personal injury or death. Follow these PRE-OPERATION instructions to ensure your tool is in proper working condition.

FLUTTER PREVENTION FEATURE To ensure the tool achieves the calibrated compressive load, the tool uses Flutter Prevention to limit tool misuse. Flutter is when the Trigger is pulled to turn on the motor, then released and pulled repeatedly before completing a crimp cycle. The tool will stop and the Alert Light will rapidly blink.

SETUP The following instructions cover proper wire preparation, insertion requirements, die selection and installation to ensure safe and reliable connections. UL Listing and CSA ® Certification are only valid when using the BURNDY Engineered System and following ® BURNDY Installation Instructions. CONNECTOR AND DIE SELECTION Select the appropriate connector based on Wire Material, Wire Construction/Class, and Wire Size.
Page 10
For the Die Sets 2210NV221 and 221BV221, use one crimp per connector. To identify connector families with UL Listings, refer to the chosen PAT221 Die sales drawing or check that the PAT221 tool is included on the ® connector’s packaging, sales drawing, or BURNDY Master Catalog page.

While continuing to hold the Trigger, use the provided Die Screw Hex Key (1/8”) to tighten both shoulder screws until they bottom out. No more than 1 ft-lb of torque is required. DO NOT force anything to fit together. To remove dies: Remove battery and engage/lock the Safety Switch.

The tool may only be operated with dies installed. Attempting to operate the tool without ® paired BURNDY PAT221 dies may result in tool damage. Attempting to use the incorrect ® BURNDY PAT221 dies or grooves for a given connector may result in tool damage. OPERATIONS TEST Ensure that dies are installed in the jaws and that all body parts are away from the pinch points prior to operating tool.
Page 13
Position the tool properly on the connector. Make certain that the die is aligned over any crimp area indicators. Follow any other connector specific installation instructions. The use of the Locator Plate is recommended when installing the following connector families: T/YAD-, TP/BA-, TN/YAES-, YAE-, YAV-, and YAEV- (Exception: YAEV10- must NOT be installed with the Locator Plate and should be visually aligned with the middle of the barrel).

Release the Trigger to begin the retraction operation. NOTE: If the tool does NOT begin the retraction operation, the tool has not completed its crimping cycle. If Flutter Prevention [pg. 8] has not been activated, you may continue to fully depress the Trigger until the crimping operation is complete.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q - How many crimps can I get before I need to recharge the battery? It is very difficult to estimate the number of crimps you will get before recharging the battery. This will depend on many factors such as temperature, size, and type of material being crimped, how the tool is used, the weather, etc.
