Tool Repair / Calibration
F1807 + Polybutylene Crimp Tools
+ F877 V-Sleeve Press Tools
Should the tools, through extended use, require
adjustment, wear in the parts may be compensated for
as follows:
1. Close tool handles until pre-load is reached (this
is the point at which the jaws close but without fully
compressing. Handle stops touch each other).
2. Measure the distance between the outside of the
handles toward the end of the handle grips or the handle-
end depression marks. Dim X is the correct distance
(see tables).
3. To increase the pre-load setting, remove the eccentric
lock/screw and rotate counter-clockwise to increase the
handle pre-load and clockwise to decrease handle pre-
load. Re-install the lock/screw in the appropriate hole
which most closely yields the desired handle dimension.
4. Recheck the set distance after making three crimps.
5. Check the crimps with a crimp gauge. If satisfactory
crimps do not result, the tool is likely worn and should
be replaced.
6. Do not gauge where tool jaws meet.
Note A: Always remember to check tool calibration. It is
recommended that at least the rst and last crimp of the
day/project is tested.
Note B: Never exceed the specied handle distance when
adjusting your crimp tool. Premature wear will result.
Note C: Lubricate linkages on a regular basis to maximize
tool life.
Note D: Do not remove Date Code sticker. Removal voids
tool warranty.
