– ELECTRIC RISK: do not use these tools on live cables.
– Before using the tool, carefully read instructions in this manual.
These tools are provided with a ratchet controlled mechanism, to prevent the handles opening,
before the crimping operation is complete.
The tools are supplied wrapped in anti-corrosion paper and packed in cardboard carton.
2. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
2.1) Strip the cable insulation, to expose a length of conductor as recommended in Table 1, taking
care not to damage or cut any of the strands.
2.2) Open the tool by fully closing the handles, until automatically released.
2.3) Insert and position the connector in the crimp aperture, as detailed in §3.1, §3.2 or §3.3. Close
the handles until the terminal is lightly held between the jaws.
2.4) Insert the stripped cable into the barrel of the connector.
2.5) Crimp the connector by fully closing the tool handles. The handles will automatically release
after completion of the crimp. Once the crimping operation has started the ratchet controlled
mechanism, prevents the jaws from re-opening, until the handles are fully closed.
2.6) Remove the crimped connector and visually check that the "Compression Code" impressed on
the insulation, corresponds to the correct choice of tool (see TABLE 1).

3. CONNECTOR POSITIONING
3.1) – Insulated terminals (RF, BF, GF, RP, BP, GP series)
– Male and female disconnect terminals (RF-F, RF-M, BF-F, BF-M, GF-F, GF-M series)
Positioning:
position the connector insulation sleeve against the spring loaded, locator plate (Fig. 1).
NOTE: when using male disconnect terminals, ensure that the barb, on the spade, does not prevent the
insulation sleeve from butting against the locator plate.
3.2) – Fully insulated female disconnect terminals (RF-F..P, BF-F..P, GF-F..P series)
– Male/female connectors (RF-FM, BF-FM series)
– Bullet connectors (RF-BM, BF-BM series)
Positioning:
manually position, the insulation sleeve on the barrel and connector, centrally in their respective
crimp apertures (Fig. 3).
NOTE: for this style of connector, the locator plate is not used and should therefore be held completely
open.
3.3) – Fully insulated male disconnect terminals (RF-M..P, BF-M..P series)
– Socket connectors (RF-BF, BF-BF series)
– Insulated splices (PL, NL series)
Postioning:
manually position, the insulation sleeve on the barrel and connector, centrally in their respective
crimp apertures (Fig. 4).
NOTE: for this style of connector, the locator plate should be removed from the tool using a 2mm hex-
agonal key.
4. CRIMPING REGULATION ON THE INSULATION SLEEVE (See Fig. 5)
The compression on the connector insulation sleeve can be varied. Three settings are available, 1)
strong, 2) medium, 3) light to suit the diff ering thickness of cable insulation.
The compression setting is varied, by altering the location of the two adjustment pins.
The most eff ective compression setting can be determined, by producing crimped joints using
un-stripped cable.
Start the tests with the adjustment pins at position 3. Check the integrity of the crimped joint by
attempting to extract the cable from the connector by a pulling and twisting motion.
If the cable slides out too easily, move the two pins to the next position to obtain greater compres-
sion; repeat the test until a satisfactory result is obtained.
Before using the tool, ensure that the two pins are fully inserted into position.
5. MAINTENANCE
5.1) Before use, check that there are no traces or dust or dirt, especially in the crimping zone.
5.2) Regularly lubricate the moving parts and pivot pins with a few drops of oil.
5.3) Only use the tool for operations described in this manual.
5.4) After use, replace the tool in the cardboard carton.
5.5) In case of tool service or tool malfunction, please contact our area agent for advice.
