Safety Information
Read and understand all safety warnings and instructions before operating this tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in serious injury.
- Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, when operating the crimping tool.
- Ensure the air supply is disconnected before performing any maintenance, changing dies, or when the tool is not in use.
- Keep hands and fingers clear of the crimping jaws during operation.
- Operate the tool in a well-ventilated area.
- Do not modify the tool or use it for purposes other than its intended use.
- Ensure the tool is placed on a stable, level surface during operation.
Setup
The pneumatic crimper is designed for straightforward installation and use. Follow these steps to set up your tool:
- Connect Air Hoses: Connect the provided air hoses to the designated ports on the crimper. The crimper features two air input ports, typically labeled A and B, for controlling the crimping action.

- Connect Foot Switch: Attach the foot switch to the appropriate air line to control the crimping cycle. The foot switch allows for hands-free operation, enhancing convenience and speed.
- Install Dies: Select the appropriate crimping dies for the terminal type and size you intend to crimp. The dies are interchangeable and can be quickly replaced. Refer to the die sets provided and ensure they are securely installed in the crimping head.

- Connect to Air Supply: Connect the main air hose from your compressor to the crimper's air input. Ensure your air supply meets the specified pressure requirements (5 to 6 BAR).
Operating Instructions
Once the tool is set up and connected to the air supply, follow these steps for operation:
- Select Correct Dies: Ensure the correct crimping dies are installed for the specific terminal and wire gauge you are working with.
- Insert Terminal and Wire: Carefully place the terminal and the stripped wire into the crimping dies. Ensure proper alignment for an accurate crimp.
- Initiate Crimping: Depress the foot switch to activate the pneumatic crimping mechanism. The jaws will close, crimping the terminal onto the wire.
- Release Crimped Terminal: Release the foot switch. The jaws will open, allowing you to remove the crimped terminal.
- Inspect Crimp: Visually inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is secure and properly formed. A good crimp should be tight and hold the wire firmly.
The pneumatic crimper offers a significant speed advantage over manual crimping pliers, performing crimps up to 10 times faster.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your pneumatic crimper.
- Cleaning: Keep the crimping jaws and surrounding areas clean from debris, wire insulation, and metal shavings. Use a dry cloth or soft brush.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a small amount of pneumatic tool oil to the air inlet to lubricate internal components. Refer to your air compressor's manual for recommended lubrication practices.
- Die Inspection: Regularly inspect the crimping dies for wear or damage. Worn dies can lead to poor crimps and should be replaced.
- Air Supply Check: Ensure your air supply is clean and dry to prevent moisture buildup within the tool.
- Storage: When not in use, store the tool in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your pneumatic crimper.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tool does not crimp or crimps weakly. | Insufficient air pressure; Air leak; Incorrect dies; Worn dies. | Check air compressor pressure (should be 5-6 BAR); Inspect hoses and connections for leaks; Ensure correct dies are installed; Replace worn dies. |
| Jaws do not open/close smoothly. | Debris in jaws; Lack of lubrication. | Clean jaws thoroughly; Apply pneumatic tool oil to air inlet. |
| Air leakage from tool. | Loose fittings; Damaged O-rings/seals. | Tighten all air fittings; Contact manufacturer for seal replacement if necessary. |
