Crimping pliers can be used in many applications:
- Maintenance and repair
- Electrical installations
- Crimp shop

- To maintain proper operation and long service life, shafts and other moving parts should be lubricated regularly.
- Lubrication* is recommended at least every 10,000 cycles when the tool is exposed to dirt or other contaminants.
- The setting of the crimping die ranges should also be checked. - Adjustment of the pressure setting pin is necessary when the tool preload decreases significantly.

*Use a light non-mineral oil
