4P-6 4PIN™ Dieless Crimp Head Instructions
ings and instructions for all equipment and material being used
before operating this tool to reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
• Keep your fingers and hands away from the crimp head during
the crimping cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, frac-
tured or amputated if they are caught between the indenters or these
components and any other object.
• Do not use on energized electrical lines to reduce the risk of
electrical shock, severe injury and death. Tool is not insulated.
Use appropriate work procedures and personal protective equip-
ment when working near energized electrical lines.
• Large forces are generated during product use that can break
or throw parts and cause injury. Stand clear during use and wear
appropriate protective equipment, including eye protection.
• Never repair a damaged head. A head that has been welded,
ground, drilled or modified in any manner can break during use.
Never replace individual components. Discard damaged heads to
reduce the risk of injury.
• Use proper tool, connector and cable combination. Improper
combinations can result in an incomplete or improper crimp which in-
creases the risk of fire, severe injury or death.
NOTICE Selection of appropriate materials and joining methods is
the responsibility of the system designer and/or installer. Before any in-
stallation is attempted, careful evaluation of the specific re quire ments
should be completed. Consult connector manufacturer for selection in-
formation.

Inspection/Maintenance
Inspect the Crimp Head before each use for issues that could affect
safe use.
1. Remove battery from electrical tool.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool and head, including han-
dles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the ma-
chine from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect the head for:
• Proper assembly and completeness.
• Wear, corrosion or other damage. Make sure that the latch works
properly and securely closes.
• Presence and readability of head markings.
• See electrical tool manual for inspection and maintenance of
the QCS coupling.
If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected.
4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as
directed in their instructions.
5. Lubricate the head pivot points with a light weight general pur-
pose lubricating oil. Wipe off any excess oil.
Set-Up/Operation
1. Prepare the connection to be crimped per the connector manu-
facturer's instructions.
2. Choose the appropriate crimp equipment for the application per
their specifications. Make sure all equipment is inspected and set
up per its instructions.
3. Changing Heads with QCS Coupling – See ElectricalTool manual.
4. With dry hands install the tool battery.
5. If needed, open the head by pushing the latch to the side and ro-
tating out (Figure 2). Close the head around the connector to be
crimped. Make sure that the latch is fully closed – do not operate
the tool with the latch open or partially open.

6. Follow all compression connector manufacturers' instructions for
crimp location. Some wire sizes may require more than one crimp
per connector.
Center the connector squarely against the fixed indenter (mounted
on latch) (Figure 3). If the connector is not centered on the fixed
indenter or is between the indenters, an improper crimp and tool
damage can result.
When making a single crimp, line up the indenters within the lines
on the connector. When making multiple crimps is required by the
connector manufacture's instruction, ensure there is enough room
to evenly space crimps between lug lines.
