5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR

SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or

inspection procedures.

It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection

program be performed periodically to ensure

dependable and uniform terminations. The tool holder

should be inspected once a week. Frequency of

inspection should be adjusted to suit your

requirements through experience, and depends on:

1. Care, amount of use, and handling of the tool.

2. Type and size of the products crimped.

3. Degree of operator skill.

4. Presence of abnormal amounts of dust and dirt.

5. Your own established standards.

The tool holder is thoroughly inspected before

packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage

during shipment, the tool holder should be inspected

immediately upon arrival at your facility.

5.1. Maintenance

A. Cleaning

Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with

a clean, soft brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. Do NOT

use objects that could damage the tool. Re--lubricate

tool holder (refer to Paragraph 5.1,B) before placing it

back into service.

B. Lubrication

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces

with a high quality grease. (Commercially available

Molykote grease is recommended.) Lubricate

according to the following schedule:

Holder used in daily production—lubricate daily

Holder used daily (occasional)—lubricate weekly

Holder used weekly—lubricate monthly

Wipe excess grease from tool holder, particularly from

jaw or die closure areas. Grease transferred from the

jaw or die closure area onto certain terminations may

affect the electrical characteristics of an application.

5.2. Periodic Inspection

Regular inspections of the tool should be performed

by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled

inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied

to supervisory personnel responsible for the tool.

Inspection frequency should be based upon amount

of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,

and established company standards.

1. Inspect the tool holder for missing pins or parts.

If parts are missing or defective, replace them by

referring to Section 6.

2. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Make sure

the rollers on the crimping head turn freely with

minimal resistance. Replace any worn parts.

3. Inspect crimping jaws or dies for flattened,

chipped, or broken areas. Worn or damaged

surfaces are objectionable and will affect the

quality of the crimp.

4. When the tool is not in use, store in a clean, dry

area.

6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR

Replaceable parts are listed in Figure 4. Parts other

than those listed in Figure 4 should be replaced by
