INSULATED SPLICE CRIMPING INSTRUCTIONS
1. With the handles in the open position, insert the splice into the proper crimp pocket (See Figure 1) so that the crimp is located on the barrel of the splice
(See Figure 3). Refer to product packaging for selection of proper crimp pocket.
2. Close the handles until the barrel is held snugly in position — do not deform the barrel.
3. Insert the stripped wire into the splice until the wire stops. Refer to product packaging for wire strip length. Crimp the splice by closing the handles until the
controlled cycle mechanism releases. Upon release, the handles will open automatically and the crimped splice can be removed.
4. Remove the splice and repeat operation for crimping the other end of the splice.
INSPECTION / MAINTENANCE
NEW TOOLS - BEFORE PLACING INTO SERVICE:
All Panduit crimping tools are calibrated and inspected before they are
shipped from the factory. All new tools should be inspected before being
used.
New tools are shipped, factory lubricated, in protective packaging. After
inspection, simply clean any excess oil from the crimping dies and place
into service.
When the tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects
from becoming lodged in the crimping area. Store the tool in a clean, dry
area.
TROUBLESHOOTING
DIE CLOSURE INSPECTION
Die closure is measured by using GO/NO GO gage members (dimensions listed in Table 1).
1. Clean the crimping dies and gage member
surfaces.
2. Close the tool handles until the crimping dies
are bottomed and the controlled cycle
mechanism releases.
Keep the handles
closed together.
3. Using the appropriate gage member, attempt
to insert the NO GO gage into the die opening.
The NO GO side may partially enter the die
closure but must NOT pass completely
through. Perform this test for all three crimp
pockets.
4. Repeat Step 3 with the appropriate GO gage
for all three crimp pockets. The GO side must
enter and pass completely through the die
closures.
5. If both gage conditions are met, the tool is
dimensionally correct. If either condition fails,
contact Panduit Tool Service, or Panduit
EMEA Service Center for technical assistance.
VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Visually inspect the tool for missing or loose
pins, then close the tool and note the return
action of the handles.
2. Inspect the crimping dies for worn, chipped or
broken edges..
3. If parts are missing, defective or damaged, con-
tact your local Panduit Sales Office for informa-
tion on repair or replacement of tools.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
IN-SERVICE TOOLS - AFTER TOOLS HAVE BEEN IN SERVICE:
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of - and
responsible for following these maintenance steps.:
In-service tools should be cleaned and inspected at least ONCE A MONTH.
To clean-wipe with a clean cloth.
In-service tools should be lubricated ONCE A WEEK, and after every
cleaning.

PRELOAD FORCE INSPECTION
1. Close the handles until the controlled cycle
mechanism is engaged, but before the
mechanism releases.
2. Apply force using force gauge to the
handles 1-1/4" (32mm) from the end of the
handles, until the controlled cycle release
mechanism releases. Record the force
gauge reading.
3. The force required to release the controlled
cycle release mechanism should be a
minimum of 20 pounds-force (89 N); and a
maximum of 30 pounds-force (133.5 N). If
out of specification, contact Panduit Tool
Service, or Panduit EMEA Service Center
for technical assistance.
