Verify the Crimp Tool Accuracy
Before starting any work, perform the steps below to verify the accuracy of the
crimp tool.
1. Turn the adjustment wheel to set the crimp value to 2.00 mm.
2. Close the crimp tool handles to the endstops and hold.
3. Insert the 2 mm calibration gauge between the crimp indenters.
– If the calibration gauge can be inserted, and feels snug without play, the
calibration is OK.
– If the calibration gauge cannot be inserted, or can be inserted but feels
loose and has play, the crimp tool must be calibrated. See Calibrating
the Crimp Tool on page 11 .
IMPORTANT For accuracy when setting the crimp value, always turn the adjustment
wheel from a larger number to the actual setting (for example, turn the
adjustment wheel up to 2.10 mm and then turn the adjustment wheel
down to 2.00 mm. Do not start at 1.90 mm and turn the adjustment wheel
up to 2.00 mm).
