Features of manual, standard crimping tools
- Very robust crimping tool completely made from steel with a chemical resistant surface finish; long lifetime
- Blocky handles allow grabbing and pressing of the tool handles at any position
- Adjustable crimping height by a hexagon key, which allows to move the inner part of the crimping head up and down (not possible for manual crimpers N 8). Crimping pressure adjustable by a screw in the handle; fixation of the crimp setting by a nut.
- Decappers don’t need any adjustment
- Activated by pressing both handles together; crimping process stops when the handle hits the pressure adjustment screw
Adjustment and handling
Adjustment of crimping pressure
1. Further unscrew the screw (1) in the handle → handles cannot be pressed so close together → lower crimping pressure
2. Further screw the screw (1) in the handle → handles can be pressed closer together → higher crimping pressure
Adjustment of crimping height
1. Fixate the handles of the crimper with the striker (3).
2. Hold crimping head (2) firmly in one hand and insert the supplied hexagon key in the screw inside the head.
3. a) Make a half up to a complete turn to the left (counter clockwise rotation), in case the crimp is too loose. b) Turn the hexagon key to the right (clockwise rotation), in case the crimp is too tight.
