Hct Visual Inspection; Wire Stripper Instructions - Power Signal Group Hand Crimp Tool User Manual

HCT Visual Inspection

• Quality control personnel should regularly check up on the HCT to ensure that crimp quality is optimal.
• Inspections on the tool should be made regularly and logged.
• The frequency of use, working environment, company standards, and operator training, strength, and
proficiency are some factors to take into consideration when inspecting the tool.
• When visually inspecting the tool, grease should be removed by using a commercial degreaser that will not
negatively affect the tool.
• After the tool has been degreased, make sure that the range of motion on the tool is quick and clean when you
open and close the tool.
• Inspect that the wire stop, holders, jaws, and other moving parts are in place.
• Make sure that the unit is not missing any screws and that the emergency release is operational.
• If there is any damage spotted, make sure it is noted and properly cared for. If the tool is still in useable
conditions, then lubricate the tool and return to service. Do not use excessive amounts of oil.
• If any adjustments or replacements need to be made, please contact the Power & Signal Group service number
for your region.
