When using this unit near energized electrical lines, use proper personal protective equipment. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe injury or death. Pinch points: Keep hands away from the crimping head when crimping. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe injury. EYE PROTECTION: Wear eye protection when operating or servicing this tool. Failure to wear eye protection could result in serious eye injury from flying debris or hydraulic oil. 2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY Read all instructions supplied with the battery charger. 2.3 An incomplete crimp can cause a fire. •Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations. Improper combinations can result in an incomplete crimp. •The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not hear the sound of the relief valve, the crimp is not complete. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. 2.2 LED DISPLAY This tool is equiped with a special circuit board incorporating several important features to inform the user about the current status of the unit. The LED signals in the following cases: Signal PREPARING CABLE Follow the lug manufacturer’s instructions for appropriate cable strip length. Duration When it occurs What it means a few seconds of flashing battery insertion self check - O.K. glowing for 20 seconds after crimp battery discharged flashing for 20 seconds (2 Hz) after crimp time for inspection and preventive maintenance 20 sec. glowing and flashing intermittently after crimp battery discharged - time for inspection and preventive maintenance CAUTION • Do not operate the tool without dies. Damage to the ram or crimping head can result. • Do not operate with the crimping head open. Damage to the ram or seals can result. • This tool is not designed for continuous use. After 100 crimping cycles, allow the crimping tool to cool for 15 minutes. •Do not place the tool in a vise. The crimping tool is designed for hand-held operation. • This tool may be used in damp or wet environments; however, we recommend air-drying the tool before use if it becomes soaked. • Use this tool for manufacturer’s intended purpose only. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 2.4 INSTALLING DIES 1. Select the proper die set for the intended crimping operation, see Table 1. 2. Remove screw, washer, and die mounting pins from the crimping head. 3. Extend the ram partially by momentarily pulling the trigger to access the screw, washer, and pins in the ram, and remove. 4. Insert one die half into the partially extended ram. Install the 13 mm pins**, screw and washer through the ram mounting holes and the die half. Tighten screw snugly. Retract ram fully by depressing retract button. 5. Insert remaining die half into the crimping head, and install with 18 mm pins**, screw and washer. Tighten screw snugly. ** DIE2001, DIE2500 do not use die mounting pins. When installing the dies, proceed as described above but do not tighten screws fully. After die set is in place, ensure dies are properly aligned and extend the ram until the dies engage under some pressure. Tighten screws snugly. BAT22-6 Die Ordering Information CAt.

However, it is very important that the largest nest be positioned away from the open side of the crimping head, closest to the head itself. Failure to do so will result in premature head failure. TA02712 G Page 3 of 8 2.5 CRIMPING CABLE 1. Insert the properly assembled connector into the crimping head. 2. Pull the trigger to make the crimp. NOTE: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a crimping cycle is complete, push the retract button which will result in the complete retraction of the ram. Sta-Kon® Terminals WARNING Keep hands away from the crimping head when crimping. Failure to observe this warning could result in severe injury. 3. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool achieves pressure relief, which is accompanied by an audible “pop”. 4. The crimping tool returns automatically. 5. Position the crimping tool for the next crimp. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the next crimp (see Figure 1). One crimp required. Two crimps required, one crimp on each side. Non Insulated Non Insulated Crimp Insulated Insulated Crimp Figure 2 Maintenance 3.1 EACH Operating Day Crimp Crimp AFTER USE: 1. Wipe all tool surfaces clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. WARNING Do not use solvents or flammable cleaners to clean the crimping tool body. Solvents could ignite, causing serious injury or property damage. WARNING Skin injection hazard: Do not use hands to check for oil leaks. High pressure oil easily punctures skin causing serious injury. If injured, seek medical help immediately to remove oil. Crimp Crimp 3.0 BEFORE USE: 1. Inspect dies for wear or damage such as cracks, gouges, or chips. 2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks.
