Greenlee K425BG Manual Crimping Tool with D3 and BG Die Grooves

Using the Greenlee K425BG is quite straightforward. First, select the appropriate die groove (D3, BG, or O) based on your crimping needs. Place the wire or connection you want to crimp into the right die. Then, use the bent fiberglass handles to operate the tool. The over - center cam mechanism will ensure a complete crimp. When it comes to adjustment, you can visually check if it's set correctly. If not, simply use an Allen wrench to make the necessary adjustments. As for maintenance, keep the Teflon - impregnated bushings clean. Wipe them down regularly to ensure smooth operation. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent any damage to the fiberglass handles. Always check the crimping force regularly, as it's set at 9,000 lb. (40 kN), to make sure it's working at its best.
