CARE OF TOOL
Although the Rigidus tool is engineered for durability, it is recommended that the following
maintenance points are observed, to maximise the life of the tool.
1.
Remove dust, moisture, and other
contaminants with a clean brush, or
soft, lint-free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials
that could damage the tool.
3.
All pins, pivot points and bearing
surfaces should be covered with a
thin coat of high quality machine oil
– do not oil excessively. Light oil
(such as 30 weight automotive oil)
used at the oil points shown in the
diagram, is recommended.
4.
Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from the crimping area. Oil transferred onto
crimp contacts may affect the electrical characteristics of the connector.
5.
When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged
in the crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
