JAW INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect the jaws inside diameter daily. If rusty, dirty or if there is evidence
of fi tting material building up on the jaw, clean with fi ne grade metal
polishing pads (or equivalent), steel wool or a steel bristle wire brush.
Emery cloth, sandpaper or other similar abrasive materials should not
be used since they may damage critical crimp jaw dimensions.
2. Jaws and side plates should be visually inspected daily for obvious cracks
or other signs of wear or damage. If cracks are visible in any parts, they
should be discarded and replaced.
Always discard the entire assembly. Never replace individual
components.
A jaw component that has been welded, ground, drilled or modifi ed
in any manner can shatter during crimping, resulting in sharp fl ying
objects, severe injury or death.
3. Pivot pins on jaws should be cleaned and lubricated at least once a year
with general purpose type grease. A light coating on the pins and bores is
suffi cient.
4. Check return springs in jaws with each use. Jaws should open and close
freely with only moderate fi nger effort required.
We recommend that the jaws be inspected by an approved RIDGID
service station to verify the critical dimensions on an annual basis.
