lockscrew. If the dimension is unacceptable, remove lockscrew and continue to adjust the ratchet, and
again measure a sample crimp.
6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
6.1. 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 dies are not in use, store them in a clean, dry area.
4. Store the tool with the tool handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged within the jaws.
6.2. Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
2. Make certain that all die-retaining screws and die components are properly secured.
3. Inspect the crimping surfaces for flattened, chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If damage is evident, the
dies must be replaced. Refer to Section 7, REPLACEMENT.
6.3. Measuring Die Opening
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as: (1) the product specified is correct for the application, (2)
the specific die assembly is used, (3) the die assembly has been measured to ensure that the openings are
correct, and (4) the tool has been adjusted correctly. Figure 5 provides information on die opening sizes.
7. REPLACEMENT
