CAUTION
It does not matter in which location the indentor or nest
half of the die set is installed, either crimping head or
ram. However, it is very important that the largest nest
be positioned away from the open side of the crimping
head, closest to the head itself. Failure to do so will
result in premature head failure.

WARNING
2.1 CHARGING THE BATTERY
Read all instructions supplied with the battery charger.
OPERATION
TA02712 G
Page 3 of 8
Follow the lug manufacturer’s instructions for
appropriate cable strip length.
Electric shock hazard: This tool is not
insulated. When using this unit near energized
electrical lines, use proper personal protective
equipment. Failure to observe this warning could
result in severe injury or death.
Pinch points: Keep hands away from the crimping
head when crimping. Failure to observe this warning
could result in severe injury.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear eye protection when
operating or servicing this tool. Failure to wear eye
protection could result in serious eye injury from flying
debris or hydraulic oil.
INSTALLING DIES
1. Select the proper die set for the intended crimping
operation, see Table 1.
2. Remove screw, washer, and die mounting pins from the
crimping head.
3. Extend the ram partially by momentarily pulling the
trigger to access the screw, washer, and pins in the ram,
and remove.
4. Insert one die half into the partially extended ram.
Install the 13mm pins**, screw and washer through the
ram mounting holes and the die half. Tighten screw
snugly. Retract ram fully by depressing retract button.
5. Insert remaining die half into the crimping head, and
install with 18mm pins**, screw and washer. Tighten
screw snugly.
** DIE2001, DIE2500 do not use die mounting pins.
When installing the dies, proceed as described above but
do not tighten screws fully. After die set is in place, ensure
dies are properly aligned and extend the ram until the dies
engage under some pressure.
Tighten screws snugly.
CAUTION
• Do not operate the tool without dies. Damage to the ram or crimping head can result.
• Do not operate with the crimping head open. Damage to the ram or seals can result.
• This tool is not designed for continuous use. After 100 crimping cycles, allow the crimping tool to cool for 15 minutes.
• Do not place the tool in a vise. The crimping tool is designed for hand-held operation.
• This tool may be used in damp or wet environments; however, we recommend air-drying the tool before use if it becomes soaked.
• Use this tool for manufacturer’s intended purpose only.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
WARNING
An incomplete crimp can cause a fire.
• Use proper die, connector, and cable combinations.
Improper combinations can result in an incomplete
crimp.
• The relief valve will sound to indicate a completed crimp.
If you do not hear the sound of the relief valve, the crimp
is not complete.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD
RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH.
LED DISPLAY2.2
This tool is equiped with a special circuit board incorporating
several important features to inform the user about the current
status of the unit. The LED signals in the following cases:

2.5 CRIMPING CABLE
1. Insert the properly assembled connector into the crimping
head.
2. Pull the trigger to make the crimp.
3. Hold the trigger down until the crimping tool achieves
pressure relief, which is accompanied by an audible “pop”.
4. The crimping tool returns automatically.
5. Position the crimping tool for the next crimp. Repeat
Steps 2 and 3 for the next crimp (see Figure 1).

Skin injection hazard:
Do not use hands to check for oil leaks.
High pressure oil easily punctures skin
causing serious injury. If injured, seek
medical help immediately to remove oil.
WARNING
2. Fully retract the ram. Place the tool in the
carrying case. Store in a cool, dry place.
3. Charge the battery.
MONTHLY:
Thoroughly clean all surfaces.
ANNUALLY OR AFTER 10,000 CRIMPS:
Return the tool to an authorized Thomas & Betts
service center for inspection.
Do not use solvents or flammable
cleaners to clean the crimping tool body.
Solvents could ignite, causing serious
injury or property damage.
WARNING
TROUBLESHOOTING4.0
