Gaging Instructions
The correct function of the crimp tool has to be checked with a gage (item no. 7.010.900.117).
„GO“-Gaging (green)
Operate tool to fully closed position. Maintain firm hand pressure on the tool handles.
Insert „GO“ gage end. Gage must pass freely between indenter tips.
„NO-GO“-Gaging (red)
Operate tool to fully closed position. Maintain firm hand pressure on the tool handles.
Insert „NO-GO“ gage end. The „NO-GO“ gage may partially enter the indenter ope-
ning, but must not pass completely through the opening.
Care of Tool
There is virtually no maintenance required. However, it is a good practice to keep intenter
tips free of residual color band deposits and other debris. A small wire brush may be used
for this purpose.
We strongly recommend that you:
1. Do not immerse tools in cleaning solution
2. Do not spray oil into tool to lubricate
3. Do not attempt to disassemble tool or make repairs
This is a precision crimp tool and should be handled as such.
