6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
6.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that the tool operator be made
aware of, and are responsible for , the following steps
of daily maintenance.
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint--free cloth. DO NOT use hard
or abrasive objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
grade SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep the handles
closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in
the jaws.
5. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.
6.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspection of the tool should be performed by
quality control personnel. A record of the scheduled
inspections should remain with the tool or be supplied
to personnel responsible for the tool. Inspection
frequency should be based on amount of use,
working conditions, operator training and skill, and
established company standards.
6.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will NOT affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
and then allow the handles to open freely. If they
do not open quickly and fully, the spring is
defective and must be replaced.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and the
pivot points. If damage is evident, replace it. If
damage is not evident, lubricate the pivot point and
return the tool to service.
5. Check the die assembly on a regular basis to
ensure it has not become worn or damaged.
Inspect the crimping sections for flattened,
chipped, worn, or broken areas. If damage is
evident, replace the die assembly.
