DANGER
Before adjusting the ratchet pawl position,
DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR
SUPPLY. After the adjustment, ALWAYS ensure
that the tool holder pivot pins are fully tightened
to avoid personal injury or damage to the tool.
5. If the ratchet releases before the dies bottom,
loosen the three securing screws, remove the
eccentric adjustment screw (refer to Figure 1) and
rotate the eccentric clockwise to a higher setting.
Tighten the securing screws. Repeat as required.
NOTE

If the ratchet does not release and the tool will
not return, slowly actuate the tool until the force
of the cam teeth is off the pawl, then push on the
pawl with a small screwdriver until the pawl is
released from the teeth, release the tool switch
and allow the tool to return. See Figure 3.

dimensions provided in the appropriate application
specification, the crimp head adapter and/or
crimping dies are defective and must be replaced.
5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR
SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or
inspection procedures.
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
H Trademark of Dow Corning Corporation
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. The
tool holder should be inspected once a week.
Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to suit
your requirements through experience, and depends
on:
S Care, amount of use, and handling of tool
holder
S Type and size of the products crimped
S Degree of operator skill
S Presence of abnormal amounts of dust and dirt
S Your own established standards.
The tool holder is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage
during shipment, the tool holder should be inspected
immediately upon arrival at your facility.
5.1. Maintenance
A. Cleaning
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with
a clean, soft brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do NOT
use objects that could damage the tool. Lubricate tool
holder as instructed in Paragraph 5.1,B, Lubrication,
before placing the it back into service.
B. Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with a high quality grease. Tyco Electronics
recommends the use of MolykoteH grease, which is a
commercially available lubricant. Lubricate according
to the following schedule:
Holder used in daily production—lubricate daily
Holder used daily (occasional)—lubricate weekly
Holder used weekly—lubricate monthly
Wipe excess grease from tool holder, particularly from
die closure areas. Grease transferred from the die
closure area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections of the tool holder should be
performed by quality control personnel. A record of
scheduled inspections should remain with the tool
holder or be supplied to supervisory personnel
responsible for the tool holder. Inspection frequency
should be based upon amount of use, working
conditions, operator training and skill, and established
company standards.
1. Inspect the tool holder for missing pins or parts.
If parts are missing or defective, replace them by
referring to Figure 4.
2. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace
any worn parts.
3. Inspect crimping dies for flattened, chipped, or
broken areas. Worn or damaged surfaces are
objectionable and will affect the quality of the
crimp.
