4. Betjeningsvejledning
The CRIMPFOX 10S is designed for precise crimping of wire end ferrules with a square crimp profile. It features a force-lock mechanism for consistent results and lateral ferrule introduction.
- Forbered ledningen: Strip the insulation from the wire to the appropriate length for the ferrule being used. The stripped wire should fully enter the ferrule without excess insulation.
- Select the Ferrule: Choose a wire end ferrule that matches the wire's cross-section (0.14 to 10 mm²). Ensure the ferrule complies with DIN 46228 standards.
- Insert the Ferrule: Insert the ferrule laterally into the crimping die. The open end of the ferrule should face the wire entry side.
- Indsæt ledningen: Insert the stripped wire completely into the ferrule. Ensure all wire strands are contained within the ferrule.
- Perform the Crimp: Squeeze the handles of the crimping pliers firmly and evenly until the force-lock mechanism releases. The tool will automatically open once the crimp is complete. This ensures a consistent, square crimp profile.
- Undersøg krympeklemmen: After crimping, visually inspect the ferrule to ensure it is securely attached to the wire and the crimp profile is uniform. A proper crimp should hold the wire firmly without damaging the strands.
5. Vedligeholdelse
- Rensning: After each use, wipe the crimping pliers with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or residue. For stubborn grime, a mild solvent can be used, ensuring it does not damage the handle material.
- Smøring: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot points and moving parts to ensure smooth operation and prevent corrosion. Do not over-lubricate.
- Opbevaring: Store the tool in a dry environment to prevent rust. The locking device helps keep the pliers closed, protecting the crimping dies.
- Inspektion: Regularly check the crimping dies for wear or damage. Worn dies can lead to poor crimps.
