IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFETY

ALERT

SYMBOL

This symbol is used to call your attention to hazards

or unsafe practices which could result in an injury or

property damage. The signal word, dened below,

indicates the severity of the hazard. The message

after the signal word provides information for pre-

venting or avoiding the hazard.

Immediate hazards which, if not avoided, WILL result

in severe injury or death.

Hazards which, if not avoided, COULD result in

severe injury or death.

Hazards or unsafe practices which, if not avoided,

MAY result in injury or property damage.

Read and understand all of the

instructions and safety information

in this manual before operating or

servicing this tool.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Electric shock hazard:

This tool is not insulated. When using

this unit on or near energized electri-

cal lines, use proper personal protec-

tive equipment.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in severe injury or death.

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection could

result in serious eye injury from ying

debris or hydraulic oil.

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. Oil under pressure easily punc-

tures skin. If injured, seek medical

attention immediately to remove oil.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in serious injury, gangrene, or

death.

Do not use solvents or ammable

liquids to clean the tool body.

Solvents or ammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete

crimp.

• The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically

retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not

hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does

not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

Pinch points:

• Remove battery before changing

dies, adapters, or jaws.

• Keep hands away from the crimp-

ing tool head when crimping.

Failure to observe these warnings

could result in severe injury or death.

Do not dispose of batteries in a re. They will vent

fumes and may explode.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe

injury from harmful fumes or burns from ying debris.

Remove the battery before transporting the T version

of this tool by air.

Failure to observe this warning could result in severe

injury or death.

• Inspect tool and dies before use. Replace any

worn or damaged parts. A damaged or improp-

erly assembled tool can break and strike nearby

personnel.

• Carrying strap is for carrying only, not to be used to

hang or suspend tool.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

• Do not use this tool for continuous use. After 30 to

40 cycles, allow the tool to cool for 15 minutes.

• Do not secure this tool in a vise. This tool is

designed for hand-held operation.

• This tool may be used in damp or wet environ-

ments; however, air-drying is recommended before

use if the tool becomes soaked. Damage may result

when the tool is operated prior to thorough drying

when electrical components are soaked.

• Use this tool for the manufacturer’s intended

purpose only.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury or property damage.

Do not allow anything to contact the battery

terminals.

• Do not immerse the batteries in liquid. Liquid may

create a short circuit and damage the battery. If bat-

teries are immersed, contact your service center for

proper handling.

• Do not place the battery into a pocket, tool pouch,

or tool box with conductive objects. Conductive

objects may create a short circuit and damage the

battery.

• Do not place a battery on moist ground or grass.

Moisture may create a short circuit and damage the

battery.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury or property damage.

• Do not store the battery at more than 122 °F (50°C)

or less than –4 °F (–20 °C). Damage to the battery

can result.

• Do not use another manufacturer’s charger. Other

manufacturers’ chargers may overcharge and

damage the battery.

• Do not attempt to open the battery. It contains no

user-serviceable parts.

Failure to observe these precautions may result in

injury or property damage.

Do not perform any service or maintenance other than

as described in this manual. Injury or damage to the

tool may result.

Failure to observe this precaution may result in injury

and property damage.

Note: Keep all decals clean and legible, and replace

when necessary.

Operation (cont’d)

Pressure Sensor

This tool is equipped with a pressure sensor that alerts

the user of an incomplete crimp.

• If the tool is manually retracted before completion of a

crimp, the red LED and an audible beep will be active

for 2 seconds.

• If the tool is unable to reach the required crimp force,

the red LED, work light, and an audible beep will pulse

until after the trigger is released.

Installing K22, KA22, and KC22-type Dies

1. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

2. Push the die release button.

3. Slide the die into the crimping head until it “snaps”

into place.

4. Properly position the second die. Repeat steps 2

and 3.

Installing W-type Dies

1. Push the die release button.

2. Slide the die adapter (Greenlee part number

50042920) into crimping head until it “snaps” into

place.

Note: The die adapters have the “D3” die proﬁle. No

additional dies are needed if the connector to be

crimped requires a “D3” die.

3. Repeat for the other adapter.

4. Select the proper dies for the intended crimp.

5. Press the locking ange and open the crimping

head.

6. Push the W-type die detent and slide the W-type die

into place.

7. Properly position the second die. Repeat steps 5

and 6.

Preparing Cable

Follow the lug manufacturer’s instructions for appropri-

ate cable strip length.

Crimping Cable

1. Press the locking ange and open the crimping

head.

2. Insert the properly assembled connector into the

crimping head.

3. Close the crimping head.

4. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.

5. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool

achieves pressure relief and the ram retracts.

6. The crimping tool returns automatically.

7. Position the crimping tool for next crimp. Repeat

Steps 4 through 6 for the number of crimps as

described in this manual.

8. Open the crimping head and remove the connector.

Notes: If it is necessary to retract the ram before a

crimping cycle is completed, push the retract button.

Pushing the retract button will result in the complete

retraction of the ram.

After completing the last crimp with W-type dies on an

aluminum connector, wipe off the excess oxide inhibitor.

An incomplete crimp can cause a re.

• Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations.

Improper combinations can result in an incomplete

crimp.

• The relief valve sounds and the ram automatically

retracts to indicate a completed crimp. If you do not

hear the sound of the relieve valve or the ram does

not automatically retract, the crimp is not complete.

Failure to observe these warnings could result in

severe injury or death.

Maintenance

Wear eye protection when operating

or servicing this tool.

Failure to wear eye protection could

result in serious eye injury from ying

debris or hydraulic oil.

Skin injection hazard:

Do not use hands to check for oil

leaks. Oil under pressure easily punc-

tures skin. If injured, seek medical

attention immediately to remove oil.

Failure to observe this warning could

result in serious injury, gangrene, or

death.

Do not use solvents or ammable

liquids to clean the tool body.

Solvents or ammable liquids could

ignite and cause serious injury or

property damage.

Pinch points:

• Remove battery before changing

dies, adapters, or jaws.

• Keep hands away from the crimp-

ing tool head when crimping.

Failure to observe these warnings

could result in severe injury or death.

Relief valve adjustments must be done by an

authorized service center.

Daily

Before use:

1. Inspect the tool for wear or damage, such as cracks,

gouges, or chips.

2. Inspect the tool for damage or leaks.

3. Inspect the rotation of the head assembly. Fully

retract the ram. The head should rotate no more

than 360°. If damage is detected, contact Greenlee

customer service at 800-435-0786 for warranty

service or repair.

After use:

1. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent to clean the

housing. Allow the housing to dry.

2. Fully retract the ram. Place the tool in the carrying

case and store in a cool, dry place.

3. If necessary, recharge the batteries. Refer to the

instructions supplied with the battery charger.

Monthly

Thoroughly clean all surfaces.
