6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
6.1. Maintenance
1. Ensure that the tool frame and dies are clean by
wiping them with a clean, soft cloth. Remove any
debris with a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects
that could damage any components.
2. When not in use, keep tool handles closed to
prevent objects from becoming lodged in the dies,
and store in a clean, dry area.
3. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film from
the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
6.2. Visual Inspection
1. Inspection of the tool and dies should be made on
a regular basis to ensure that they have not become
worn or damaged.
2. Make sure that the proper die retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. Inspect the crimping chambers of the die
assembly for flattened, chipped, worn, or broken
areas. If damage or abnormal wear is evident, the
dies must be replaced. Refer to Section 7,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
6.3. Measuring Die Opening
The tool assembly will perform correctly as long as:
(1) the product specified is correct for the die
assembly, (2) the correct product is used in the
matching crimping chamber of the die assembly,
(3) the die assembly has been measured to ensure
that the openings are correct, and (4) the dies bottom
on each other.
