Tool Set-Up
1 • Open grip flap F.
• Adjust dial J to size of wire end ferrule.
• Press in the direction indicated by the arrow and
turn until you reach the lock-in position for the
conductor cross-sectional area to be treated.
Please note: to ensure correct operation, dial J
must be properly engaged.
2 • Adjust control gate I to size of ferrule.
• This will ensure that the ferrule chain runs properly.
3 • Lift up grip flap F, and insert the ferrule chain flat
into the guide of the enclosure, so that the first
ferrule lies in the crimping die of crimping drum G.
• Turn down the free end of the ferrule chain as
shown in Figure 3. Close grip flap F.
Cutting: flexible conductor with cross-sectional
area (CSA) between 0.5 and 2.5 mm 2
4 Insert the conductor into the guide, and press hand
lever E.
Insulation stripping: conductor with CSA
between 0.5 and 2.5 mm 2
5 • Adjust variable conductor stop B to the length of
insulation stripping. For ferrules this is usually 10
mm.
6 • If necessary, use adjusting screw C to adjust the
insulation stripping tool to the insulation thickness
required.

Crimping: wire end ferrules with CSA between
0.5 and 2.5 mm 2
7 • Insert the stripped conductor straight into the fer-
rule through lateral opening A.
• Applying slight pressure, displace crimping drum
G in the direction of the conductor and keep under
pressure.
• You will see that dial J is laterally displaced in the
direction indicated by the arrow. This will increase
the distance from the enclosure.
• In this position, hand lever E must be pressed as
far as it will go.
• The locking device then releases hand lever E so
that it can be opened.
8 • Re-open hand lever E and remove the conductor
with the crimped ferrule.
Modifying the tool for use with other
cross-sectional areas
Open grip flap F, remove the ferrule strip, close grip
flap F, and continue as described under
"Tool set-up".
Storage: store the tool only in open condition.
Replacing cutting edge
9 • Loosen the screw, and withdraw cutting edge D,
screw and socket.
10 • Insert replacement cutting edge D, socket and
screw, tighten screw.
Releasing the locking device
11 • The tool has an automatic lock that ensures the
desired crimping quality is achieved. The
automatic lock is released using a screwdriver
(release opening H)
Protect yourself from live parts
• Do not work on live parts.
• Cover and guard live parts near your workplace.

Warning!
– With some plugs and conductors available on the
market the results attained with this tool do not
conform to standards. This is due to the tolerances
permitted in the various standards and may occur
even though the conductor, plug and crimp articles
used meet the standards concerned.
– For this reason the tool may only be used once its
performance has been tested in conjunction with the
articles and conductors being processed and any
necessary adjustments to the tool have been made.
– Without testing the tool in this way, faulty contacts,
increased line resistance or inadequate tensile
strength may occur and adversely affect the safety of
the overall article.
– This may cause severe personal injury or damage to
items of value.
– If you are unable to conduct appropriate tests, please
contact your supplier and arrange for adjustment and
testing to be performed.
General information
– For your own safety, only use the accessories and
attachments recommended in the operating
instructions or by the manufacturer.
– Please always carry out all the required
precautionary measures and observe the accident
prevention regulations that are applicable to you.
– Please observe the accident prevention regulations
that are applicable to you.
– The tool must be inspected for proper operation on a
regular basis in line with the frequency of use and
type of service. If appropriate inspections are not
possible at the place of use, these may be conducted
by the manufacturer.
– Repairs must only be performed by qualified
personnel in order to avoid operator accidents.
Notes on CT-1000
• Always adjust crimping drum to ferrule cross-
sectional area.
• Only ferrule strips (containing 50 ferrules each) may
be used. The use of ferrules on reels may lead to
irreparable damage.
