Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made

aware of, and responsible for, the following maintenance

steps:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a

clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.

2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage

the tool.

3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces

are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine

oil. Do not oil excessively.

4. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to

prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping

dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.

Warranty

This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital

components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30

days. Should such a defect occur, we would exchange the tool free of charge. This will not be applicable to

altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping, fixturing, or use of

handle extensions voids this warranty.

CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.

Hand held crimping tools are intended for low volume, prototyping, or repair requirements only.

Notes:

1. This tool should only be used for the terminals and wire gauges specified on this sheet.

2. This tool is not adjustable. Variations in tools, terminals, and wire stranding and insulation types may affect

crimp height.

3. This tool is intended only for the wire types specified. It may not give a good insulation crimp support for all

insulation sizes.

4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see warranty above). The replacement parts listed are the only parts

available for repair. If the handles or crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a new tool must be purchased.

5. Pull force should be used as the final criteria for an acceptable crimp. Pull force is measured with no

influence from the insulation crimp. The insulation should be stripped long (1/2 in.) so the insulation grips on

the terminal do not grip the wire insulation or the conductor. Refer to Molex Quality Crimping Handbook

63800-0029 for additional information on crimping and crimp testing.

6. Molex does not certify crimp hand tools.

CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals, applicators and

tooling.
