3. DESCRIPTION
The pneumatic handle assembly features a molded
nylon handle with a trigger and an air tube. The handle
holds an air cylinder with a key which retains the
terminating head in the body and allows the head to
be rotated. Refer to Figure 2.
In this use, the handle assembly noise level with the
terminating head emits a maximum of 78 dB, and the
vibration level is less than 2.5 mm/s².

4. Re-insert the key to retain the head.
5. To remove the head, remove the key and pull the
head out of the handle assembly.
5. SETUP
It is recommended that a regulator-filter-lubricator unit
with the lubricator adjusted to the minimum setting be
used with the handle assembly. Refer to Figure 4.
It is also recommended that quick-disconnect fittings
are used to connect the tool to the air supply. If not
using quick-disconnect fittings, provide a pneumatic
lock-out on the air line that bleeds air after it is turned
off.
The handle assembly is designed to operate with an
air pressure range of 276 to 483 kPa [40 to 70 psi].
Service life can be greatly extended when only the
necessary air pressure is applied. Excessive pressure
causes wear and strain on handle assembly
components and the connectors.
CAUTION
!
Do not use this tool as a blunt object, a crushing
device, or for any purpose other than crimping the
proper specified product. Inappropriate use of the
tool could result in personal injury or damage to the
tool.
