Using the Greenlee KD12CU Crimping Die Kit is quite straightforward. First, pick the right die from the kit according to the size of your copper cable. Make sure to use the corresponding tool that the 'U' style dies are compatible with. Connect the die to the tool properly. Place the copper connector and cable in the die, then operate the tool to perform the crimping.
Here are some important things to note. Always double - check that you're using the correct die for your cable size to ensure a proper crimp. Since the tools are sold separately, make sure they're in good working condition before use. Avoid over - crimping as it can damage the cable and connector.
For maintenance, after each use, wipe the dies clean to remove any debris or residue. You can use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Store the dies in the provided carry case to protect them from dust and damage. Periodically check the dies for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's a good idea to replace the die to keep getting high - quality crimps.
