5. Remarks in respect of the determined use
Before starting any work on electrical appliances it must be
safeguarded that there are no live parts in the immediate assembly
area of the user. Is this not possible special precaution measures
for working near live parts must be provided.
Prior to operating the unit the charging level of the battery (Pos.-
No. 7) should have been tested
detected by the flashing of the LED (Pos.-No. 6) for 20 s at the end
of a crimping cycle.

5.1. Operation of the unit

First you have to select the right dies (Pos.-No. 4) for the intended
application.
Attention
Don't operate the tool without dies.
The crimping head has to be opened by unhooking the latch (Pos.-
No. 3 & Picture 2 Pos. A). Afterwards the dies will be inserted into
the open crimping head until they engage. Afterwards the crimping
head must be closed completely.
The crimping head should be turned into the desired position
before starting the crimping cycle. It is significantly easier to turn
the crimping head in a pressure free state.
The crimping procedure is initiated by actuating the trigger (Pos.-
No. 1 & Picture 2 Pos. C). The crimping process is defined by the
closing motion of the dies. During that process the connecting
material is positioned in the stationary half of the die whereas the
moving part of the die is approaching the compression point
The crimping process is terminated when the crimping force is
reached. After having completed the crimp the dies return into the
starting position automatically. Afterwards a second crimping
cycle can be initiated or the it can be finished by opening the latch
(Pos.-No. 3 & Picture 2 Pos. A).
Attention
After having terminated the crimping
process and prior to changing the dies
remove battery to avoid unintended starts.
In case of error or emergency the dies can be returned into the
starting position by actuating the retract button (Pos.-No. 2 &
Picture 2 Pos. B).
Attention
The crimping process can be interrupted at any
moment by releasing the trigger.
5.2. Explanation of the application range
The EK60/5 has a large number of various dies (Pos.-No. 4)
available to crimp Klauke connecting material.

Attention
Do only crimp those connecting materials mentioned in
Tab. 2
If different conducting materials have to be crimped, please contact the
manufacturer.
Attention
Do not crimp on live cables or conductors
The EK60/5 is a hand held tool and it is not supposed to be restrained in
a vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary application.
The tool is not designed for continued crimping operations. After a
sequence of approximately 30-40 completed crimps you have to make a
break of 15 min. to give the tool time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for the tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks can occur
which might ignite highly inflammable or explosive
liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic crimping tools should not be operated
in pouring rain or under water.

5.3. Mounting instructions

Please read the assembly instructions in Chapter 12 of our general
catalogue.
Attention
Even if the code number is identical only those dies
should be used whichare suitable for the material.
Please use the following assembly instructions for cable lugs and
connectors:
1. Strip the conductor according to insertion depth (+10% due to the
change of length of the crimped sleeve)
2. The Conductor ends must be cleaned with a cloth or brush before the
assembly.
3. Insert the conductor fully into the cable lug or connector
4. Pay attention to the crimping directions and use the appropriate dies.

The crimping directions for cable lugs and connectors is indicated in
the illustration below.
