3. Unblocking the tool• IMPORTANT: Apply working force on the tool handles while

unblocking. It will prevent hurting yourself and possible damages on the tool.

4. Tool regulation procedure• Afterprolongedworkperiod, tool crimpingperformancecanchange

slightly due to final self-adjustment of the tools’ components. Thishand-tool is equipped with eccentric axle which allows periodicaladjustmentofcrimpingforceandtoolrecalibrationtomaintaincorrectcrimpperformance.

6. Change of the shielding crimping insert• The tool comes with two sets of exchangeable shielding crimping

inserts.
