Operating Instructions

The Pro'sKit 300-088 is designed for efficient cutting, stripping, and crimping of 4P4C and RJ22 modular plugs.

1. Cutting Wire

1. Open the crimper handles fully.
2. Locate the cutting blade section of the tool.
3. Place the wire into the cutting slot.
4. Squeeze the handles firmly to cut the wire to the desired length.

2. Stripping Wire Insulation

1. Open the crimper handles.
2. Locate the stripping blade section.
3. Insert the end of the wire into the appropriate stripping slot, ensuring the wire is positioned correctly for the desired strip length.
4. Gently squeeze the handles to cut the insulation, then pull the wire to remove the stripped insulation.

3. Crimping Modular Plugs (4P4C / RJ22)

1. Prepare the wire by stripping the insulation to the correct length for your modular plug.
2. Insert the prepared wire into the modular plug, ensuring each conductor is in its correct pin position.
3. Open the crimper handles and carefully insert the loaded modular plug into the 4P4C crimping die. Ensure the plug is seated correctly and flush with the die.
4. Squeeze the handles firmly and completely until the crimping cycle is finished. The tool will typically release when the crimp is complete.
5. Remove the crimped plug and inspect the connection for proper seating and secure crimp.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Pro'sKit crimper.

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, debris, or wire fragments.
• Lubrication: Periodically apply a light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation.
• Storage: Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust and corrosion. Keep the handles closed when not in use to protect the blades.
