CAUTION
Short-circuit due to formation of flash produced by crimping operations! A faulty crimping operation
can lead to the formation of flash, which can cause short-circuiting/arcing.
▶ Use the correct crimping die.
▶ Use suitable connecting material.
▶ Remove the flashes that form in the course of crimping work.
In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the crimping operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
crimping operations to heat up the crimping tool.
1. Turn the crimping head to the desired position.
2. Insert the connecting material into the open crimping head.
3. Press and hold down the control switch until the piston retracts.
4. Remove the crimped connecting material.
Repeat the crimping operation if necessary, but never at the same place. Perform further crimping
operations beside each other (B). Obtain the information concerning the permitted number of
crimping operations from the manufacturer of the connecting material.

DANGER
Electric shock hazard! Working in adverse outdoor conditions can cause electric shocks and/or short
circuits.
▶ Never work on electrically live lines while a thunderstorm is in progress.
▶ Call a halt to work immediately whenever weather conditions impair the insulation characteristics, vision
or movement of the workers.
WARNING
Risk of injury! Risk of serious injury during the cutting operation.
▶ Throughout the cutting operation, take great care to keep your hands and fingers well clear of the cutting
jaws.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to oil escaping under high pressure! Oil escaping under high pressure can injure the
skin and the eyes.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if damage is visible.
▶ Do not use the crimping/cutting tool if oil escapes.
▶ Make sure that the piston retracts after every crimping operation.
▶ If the piston does not retract after the crimping operation, press the piston return switch for manual
retraction.
In cold weather the hydraulic oil can thicken and slow the cutting operation. Perform 5 to 10 empty
cutting operations to heat up the cutting tool.
1. Turn the cutting head to the desired position.
2. Place the material to be cut in the open cutting head or hold the cutting tool with open cutting jaws
against the material to be cut.
Always make sure that the material to be cut is fully inserted into the cutting head.
Do not exceed the maximum cutting capacity.
Do not attempt to cut material that cannot be inserted fully into the cutting head.
3. Press and hold down the control switch until the piston retracts.
