Right- or Left-Handed Operation

This hand tool has an added feature that can be

converted from a right-handed application to a

left-handed application. It is necessary to

reverse the tooling if using the left-handed

application along with the locator. Follow the

steps below:

1. The locator must be removed before

reversing the tooling.

2. Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding

the upper tooling.

3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite

side, and replace the M3 BHCS. Make

sure the small markings on the front and

back of the hand tool frame match up

and are on the outside of the hand tool

frame. See Figures 9 and 10.

4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling,

and tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the

small markings line up.

5. Reinstall the locator by following the

instructions in the locator replacement

section.

MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of and

responsible for the following maintenance steps:

1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush

or a soft, lint-free cloth.

2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.

3. Make certain all pins, pivot points and bearing surfaces are

protected with a thin coat of high-quality machine oil. Do not oil

excessively. The tool was engineered for durability, but like any

other equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum

service life of trouble-free crimping. Light oil (such as 30 weight

automotive oil) used at the oil points every 5,000 crimps or 3

months will significantly enhance the tool life. See Figure 11.

4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil

transferred from the crimping area onto certain terminations may

affect the electrical characteristics of an application.

5. When the 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.

Miscrimps or Jams

easily by pressing up on the ratchet release lever in the movable

handle. See Figure 12.
