5. Instructions for proper use

5.1. Operation of the hydraulic crimping
tool
• First position the pair of dies (4) suited for
the job to be done. Check in the die Table
in our catalogue which dies are suitable. To
fit the dies, first open the tool head with a
rotary action outwards. Then the upper die
can be placed in the cavity to be found in
the main jaw (5).
Insert the lower die in the specific mobile
support.
• Close the tool head and move the handle
(3) to the pressing position ( =>I I<= ).
• A crimping process is initiated by activating
the pump lever (2). The connecting materi-
al is positioned in the stationary half of the
crimping dies and the moving part is
approaching the compression point. Make
pumping movements with the pump lever
until the material is cut or the pressure
interruption is triggered.
• On completion of crimping, move the
handle (3) to the return position <=I=> so
that the piston retracts.

• In the case of an error, the piston can be
retracted at any time.
Warning: Before operating the
tool, make sure that the head is
properly closed; an incorrect head
closing may damage the tool.
Warning: This tool works under
pressure. Do not go near the area
between the two dies while the tool
is working.
DANGER OF GETTING CRUSHED!

5.2. Mounting instructions

The hydraulic crimping tool must be used
only for the foreseen applications.
Use only original spare parts.
Despite the same code numbers the com-
pression width for copper and aluminium
calbe lugs and connectors is not the same.
Determine what type of die to use by consul-
ting the relevant tables in our catalogue.
Warning: For assuring a good com-
pression, carry on pumping until
intervention of the maximum pres-
sure valve (detected by a click and a metallic
sound).
Warning: Even if the code number
is idenfical, use only those dies
which are suitable for the material.
Warning: Do not crimp any live
parts. Before starting to cut please
make sure that all parts involved in
the crimping porcess are not connected to
live circuits.
