Controls

Version 04/13
1 Handles with integrated mechanism for the transmission and automatic lock
2 Release lever to release the automatic lock after an incorrect crimping
3 Toothed wheel to adjust the torque (with locking screw)
4 Slot for one of the insert pairs provided
Replacing the insert pairs
The package includes a total of 5 insert pairs. Both parts of the insert pairs are labelled accord-
ingly ("A", "B", "C", "H" and "H1").
To remove an insert pair from the crimp pliers, open the crimp pliers and then simply pull the two
parts forward and out. Afterwards, insert the other desired insert pair fully into the crimp pliers.
Pay attention that you always insert the two matching parts of an insert pair into the
crimp pliers (which have the same labelling, e.g. "A"). Otherwise, you won't be able
to carry out the crimping correctly, and you run the risk of damaging the crimp pliers
or the inserts.
Crimping process
Depending on the available crimp-type connector, select the suitable insert pair for the crimp
pliers and insert the crimp-type connector into the correct opening.
Press the handles (1) of the crimp pliers fi rmly together. The transmission mechanism in the
handle causes an increase of the torque.
If the torque selected via the toothed wheel (3) is attained, the forced lock and thus the handles
are automatically released and the crimp-type connector can be removed.
Adjusting the torque
First, unscrew the locking screw of the toothed wheel (3) com-
pletely. In this process, the crimp pliers must not be pressed to-
gether; rather, the handles have to be fully open.
Move the toothed wheel in the "-" direction to decrease the torque
or in the "+" direction to increase the torque.
Secure the toothed wheel (3) again with the screw that you un-
screwed at the beginning (under the toothed wheel there are two
threads (see circle in the image to the right) so that the adjustment
of the torque in a total of 12 stages is possible).
Releasing the automatic lock via the release lever
In the event of a wrong crimping, the automatic lock of the crimp pliers can be released before
completing the process by moving the release lever (2) with e.g. a screw driver or the like in
direction of the front side (inserts).
Afterwards, the handles can be moved apart and you can remove the faulty crimp-type con-
nector.
Maintenance and Cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any
reason. Servicing or repair may be carried out only by a specialist.
Clean the product only with a soft, clean, dry cloth.
