2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. Physical Description
The tool consists of a housing, handle, and air hose that connects to an air supply. The housing contains the
cylinder, piston, and cam. The front of the housing accepts an interchangeable jaw assembly that is secured to
the housing by two pivot pins. The back of the housing features an identification plate. The handle has a
control button that actuates the tool. Refer to Figure 4.
2.2. Functional Description
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS DISCONNECT the tool from the air supply when changing the jaw assembly.
Always keep fingers clear of jaws during the crimping operation.
When the tool is connected to the air supply, air pressure on the return side of the cylinder maintains the piston
and cam in a neutral position and allows the spring–loaded jaws to remain open. Refer to Figure 4, Detail A.
The operator can now position the wire–loaded terminal or splice in the jaws.
When the control button is depressed, full air line pressure is directed into the power side of the cylinder,
closing the jaws to the crimp position. Refer to Figure 4, Detail B.
Releasing the control button allows full air line pressure to enter the return side of the cylinder, returning the
piston and cam to neutral position. The spring–loaded jaws will open and the tool is ready for the next crimping
operation.
