Attention
Do only crimp those connecting materials
mentioned in Tab. 2
If different conducting materials have to be crimped, please
contact the manufacturer.
Attention
Do not crimp on live cables or conductors
The EK 120/42 is a hand held tool and it is not supposed to be
restrained in a vise. It is not allowed to use the tool in a stationary
application.
The tool is not designed for continued crimping operations. After
a sequence of approximately 30-40 completed crimps you have to
make a break of 15 min. to give the tool time to cool down.
Attention
Too intensive use can cause heat damages for the
tool
Attention
During the operation of electric engines sparks can
occur which might ignite highly inflammable or
explosive liquids and materials
Attention
Electric-hydraulic crimping tools should not be
operated in pouring rain or under water.

5.3. Mounting instructions
Please read the assembly instructions in Chapter 12 of our general
catalogue.
Attention
Even if the code number is identical only those dies
should be used which are suitable for the material.
Please use the following assembly instructions for cable lugs and
connectors:
1. Strip the conductor according to insertion depth (+10% due to the
change of length of the crimped sleeve)
2. The conductor ends must be cleaned with a cloth or brush before
the assembly.
3. Insert the conductor fully into the cable lug or connector
4. Pay attention to the crimping directions and use the appropriate
dies. The crimping directions
indicated in the illustration below.
5. After crimping, wipe away excess compound forced out of Al-
cable lugs and connectors.
5.4 Service and maintenance instruction
The electric-hydraulic crimping unit is equipped with a
sophisticated electronics enabling the user to see when the next
service is due. (Pls. read chapter 4.3 for more information) When
the next service is due the unit must to be returned to an authorised
service center.
For every day service the unit has to be cleaned and dried after each
use. The battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) and the charging unit have to
be protected against humidity and dust.
Within the determined use of the tool only the dies (Pos.-No. 10) are
permitted to be changed by the customers.
Attention
Do not damage the seals of the tool.
If the seals are damaged the warranty is invalidated.
5.5 Remarks on the use of the battery cartridge and charging unit.
The charging unit is run with a nominal voltage of 230 V and a
frequency of 50-60 Hz. New batteries must be charged prior to use.
To charge the battery cartridge (Pos.-No. 7) the power plug of the
charging unit has to be plugged into the power supply and the
battery cartridge has to be pushed into the charging unit. The
charging time is one hour. The charging level of the battery
cartridge can be checked by a LED
green
battery cartridge is charged
red
Battery cartridge is empty and is just being charged
flashing
battery cartridge is not pushed in properly or too hot,
a sound signal occurs
Is the battery plugged in correctly the LED changes from green to
red and the charging procedure starts. When the charging procedure
is terminated the LED changes again to green. Simultaneously a
signal occurs for 5 seconds.
No other battery cartridges e.g. dry batteries or car batteries etc. are
permitted to be used neither in the tool nor in the charging unit.
As soon as the speed of the machine decreases noticeably the
battery must be recharged. Do not recharge a partially empty battery
as a precaution.
If charging a battery which has currently been used or which was
laying in the sun for a longer period of time the LED might flash
red. In this case wait for a while. The charging procedure starts after
the battery cooled down.

The charging level of the battery can also be verified by the LED of the
tool at the end of a crimping cycle. See chapter 4.3 for further
information.
