Using the Greenlee EK425LXD11 crimper is quite straightforward. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. You can check the battery level on the LED display. To start a crimp, use one hand to hold the tool and the other to position the cable and connector. Open the wide - opening jaws and place the connector inside. You can jog the jaws closed until they grip the connector, then position the cable. Once everything is set, let the tool do its job. After a successful crimp, the jaws will open automatically. If you need to open the jaws before the crimp is finished, just press the button on the back of the tool. As for maintenance, keep the tool clean and dry. Regularly check the pressure sensor to ensure it's working properly. If you get a visual or audible alert about low crimping force, double - check the connector and cable setup. Also, follow the standard safety procedures when using the tool, and make sure it's stored in a safe place when not in use.
