8. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
8.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth. DO NOT use any objects that could damage
the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the dies. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
4. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film from
the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
8.2. Inspection
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
and then allow them to quickly open freely. If they
do not open quickly and fully, the spring is defective.
See Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
2. Inspect the crimping surfaces of the dies for
flattened, chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If
damage is evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer
to Section 9, REPLACEMENT.
