4. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
4.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that operators of the
tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT use hard or
abrasive objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the pivot pins are in place and
that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections of the tool should be performed
by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied
to supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.
Inspection frequency should be based upon amount
of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,
and established company standards.
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all pivot pins are in place and
secured with retaining rings.
3. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See Section 6, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and
pivot points. If damage is evident, refer to Section
6, PARTS REPLACEMENT. If tool is acceptable,
lubricate and return to service.
NOTE
i
This tool is recommended for R&D prototyping,
networking applications, commercial/industrial
maintenance, and field service repair. For other
applications, please contact your Tyco Electronics
Representative or the Tooling Assistance Center
at the number at the bottom of page 1.
5. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The tool frame assembly features a ratchet
mechanism and adjustment wheel with eight settings.
The ratchet mechanism ensures that the tool has
completed the cycle. The adjustment wheel controls
the amount of handle pressure exerted on the tool
jaws and crimping dies during the crimping procedure.
Although the ratchet is preset prior to shipment, it is
important that you verify the crimp height. Also,
general use and subsequent wear may cause the tool
to go out of adjustment. It is recommended that the
crimp height be inspected — and adjusted, if
necessary — on a regular basis by quality control
personnel.
NOTE
i
This is a general explanation of the procedure.
For specific information, refer to the instruction
sheet packaged with the die assembly.
1. Crimp a contact onto a properly–prepared wire
of the correct size.
2. If the crimp height is greater than
recommended, remove the ratchet wheel
adjustment screw and rotate the adjustment wheel
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a higher setting.
Repeat as required.
3. If the crimp height is less than recommended,
remove the ratchet wheel adjustment screw and
rotate the adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a
lower setting. Repeat as required.
4. If the crimp cannot be made to conform to the
dimensions provided in the appropriate product
application specification, the tool and/or dies are
defective and must be replaced.
6. PARTS REPLACEMENT
Hand Tool Frame Assemblies 58532–[ ], 58555–[ ],
and 58588–[ ] are inspected prior to shipment. It is
recommended that they be inspected upon arrival to
ensure that they have not become damaged during
shipping.
Refer to the parts list in Figure 4 to determine the
proper location and orientation of the part in the tool
frame.
