Operating the Crimping Tool
It is recommended that a crimping test be performed using these test pieces after
the tool is fully assembled or after the die is changed.
Once properly assembled, the crimping head may be rotated 360°.
Use appropriate personal protective equipment and eye
protection when operating the tool.
DO NOT use in temperatures exceeding 50 °C (122 °F).
Pinch pipes are plated with nickel (Ni).
DO NOT use on systems where tubing pressure will exceed 0.5
bar (7.25 psi).
DO NOT use lubricants or liquid between the pinch pipe and
tubing.
After 50 crimping cycles, allow the tool to cool down for 15
minutes before resuming use.
Do not insert fingers into tool, pinching may occur.
