NEW TOOLS – BEFORE PLACING INTO SERVICE

1. VISUALLY INSPECT TOOL

FOR DAMAGE.

All PANDUIT crimping tools are calibrated and inspected before they are shipped

from the factory. There is, however, a possibility of damage in shipment. All new

tools should therefore be inspected before being used.

2. CHECK DIE CLOSURE

3. CLEAN EXCESS OIL FROM

CRIMP DIES AND USE.

New tools are shipped factory lubricated. They do not require extensive cleaning.

After inspection, simply clean any excess oil from the crimping dies and place into

service.

CAUTION: Verify power is “OFF”

before working on wiring with this

tool. The plastic grips are for the

user’s comfort—and are not

intended to insulate against shock

while working on live electrical

circuits.

WARNING: Controlled cycle

device prevents tool from opening before cycle is completed. Keep hands and

other objects clear of pinch areas before closing.

ATTENTION:

TO DISENGAGE CONTROLLED CYCLE DEVICE:

Turn the ratchet release screw counterclockwise and open handles.

The controlled cycle device will automatically reset after screw is released.

CT-400 F. If both the GO and NO-GO conditions are met; the tool is dimensionally correct – if either condition fails, adjust the DIE CLOSURE as follows: 1. Remove lock screw with small wrench [see Fig. 2]. 2. With adjustment wrench provided, turn adjustment pin one notch – each notch produces approximately .002” of adjustment. A clockwise turn increases the die closure and a counterclockwise turn decreases the die closure. 3. Close the tool and plug gage the die closure as instructed above.
