Set-Up And Operating
Instructions
WARNING
Do NOT use on or near energized conductors. This
tool is not insulated. Use of this tool near ener-
gized conductors may lead to electrical shock,
causing severe injury or death.
Keep your fingers and hands away from the dies and
moving parts during the operating cycle. Your fin-
gers or hands can be crushed, fractured or ampu-
tated if they become caught between the dies or
between these components and any other object.
Large forces are generated using high-pressure
fluid. Escaping high-pressure fluid can penetrate
skin. Large forces can break and throw parts, caus-
ing serious injury. Keep all unnecessary personal
away from the work area. Stay clear of the head
during use and always wear appropriate protec-
tive equipment, including eye protection.
Do not operate the tool without correct dies properly
installed in tool head. This can damage the tool
and/or cause serious personal injury.
Use proper tool, die, connector and cable combi-
nation. Improper combinations can result in an
incomplete or improper crimp, which increases the
risk of electrical issues, fire, severe injury or death.
Follow set up and operating instructions to reduce
the risk of injury from crushing, electrical shock
and other causes and to prevent tool damage.
1. Check for appropriate work area as indicated in
General Rules Safety section.
