5.1. Daily Maintenance
At the close of each shift, the responsible operator
should clean foreign particles from the tool using a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth or brush. Make sure all pins
and rings are in place, and that the crimp components
are undamaged. Lightly lubricate all pins, pivot points,
and bearing surfaces using a good grade SAE 20
motor oil. Do not lubricate excessively.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT lubricate the surfaces of the crimp
components that contact the product. These areas
must be kept clean to prevent product slippage
during crimping.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
We recommend that the following inspections be
conducted at least once a month by quality control
personnel. More frequent inspections should be
conducted if your work environment, company
standards, or amount of tool use indicates the need.
A. Visual Inspection

5. MAINTAINING THE HEAD ASSEMBLY
Inspect the head assembly when you receive it and at
regular intervals. When not in use, store it in a clean,
dry area.
1. Check for missing or defective pins or retaining
rings. Replace parts as necessary. See Section 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
2. Closely inspect dies for damage, giving special
attention to bearing surfaces and surfaces that
contact the product.
