3. Installation and Setup

3.1 Unpacking

• Inspect the tool upon delivery for any visible damage.
• Verify all components (e.g., crimping dies, handles) are included as per the packing list.

3.2 Initial Use Preparation

1. Power Connection: Ensure the tool is unplugged during setup.
2. Die Selection: Choose the appropriate crimping die for your terminal type (e.g., DT terminal for M16 bolts, as used in high-torque applications).
3. Calibration: Check alignment using a reference terminal; adjust if necessary to avoid mis-crimping.

4. Operation Guide

4.1 Basic Crimping Procedure

1. Insert Terminal: Place the terminal into the selected die cavity.
2. Position Wire: Insert the wire into the terminal’s conductor section.
3. Crimp Execution:
   • Squeeze the handles firmly until the tool’s indicator confirms full crimp.
   • Release handles to open the die; remove the crimped assembly.
4. Inspection: Verify crimp integrity by checking for secure wire retention and no terminal deformation.

4.2 Advanced Tips

• Batch Processing: For high-volume tasks, organize terminals in batches to streamline workflow.
• Quality Checks: Use a magnifier to inspect crimp profiles for consistency, especially in critical applications like automotive wiring.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Regular Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe down the tool after use to remove metal shavings or dust.
• Lubrication: Apply light oil to moving parts monthly to prevent corrosion.
• Die Care: Clean dies with a soft brush; replace if worn or chipped.

5.2 Troubleshooting

• Problem: Poor crimp quality (e.g., loose wires).
  • Solution: Check die alignment and terminal size match; recalibrate if needed.
• Problem: Tool jamming.
  • Solution: Ensure no debris blocks the die cavity; inspect for bent components.

6. Technical Specifications

• Crimping Capacity: Compatible with terminals from 10 mm² to 120mm² cross-section.
• Force Range: Adjustable dies accommodate various terminal sizes (e.g., M6 to M16 bolts).
• Environmental Limits: Operate within -10°C to 50°C; avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
