FAQs
Un-insulated crimp tools are typically used for general applications, whereas the insulated crimp tools have been VDE tested up to 1000 V, designed for use where electrical current is present
Axles and other movable parts should be regularly lubricated
Lubrication is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles whenever the tool is exposed to contaminants
Adjustment of the crimping die nests should also be checked. Readjustment of the pressure adjustment axle is necessary when the pre-load of the tool decreases significantly
