DANGER
Electric shock hazard! Working in adverse outdoor conditions can cause electric shocks and/or short
circuits.

▶ Call a halt to work immediately whenever weather conditions impair the insulation characteristics, vision
or movement of the workers.
WARNING
Danger! Risk of fire due to faulty crimping.
▶ Use only cable terminals of the correct type and size for the cable. Failure to observe this point can result
in faulty crimping.
▶ Listen for the signal tone and check that the piston has retracted. If no signal tone is heard or if the piston
does not retract then the crimping is faulty.
