Using the Greenlee EK1550SLX11 is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the crimper and you're ready to go. Select the appropriate 'P' or 'U' style crimping die for your job. Place the connector and cable in the die, then squeeze the trigger. The tool will automatically stop and retract the ram when the crimp is complete.
When using, keep in mind the operating temperature range of 1 F to 104 F. Don't use it outside of this range as it may affect performance. Also, be aware of the crimping force and capacity. Make sure your cable and connector are within the specified wire size and crimping capacity.
For maintenance, keep the tool clean. After each use, wipe it down with a dry cloth. Check the dies regularly for wear and tear. If they're damaged, replace them immediately. Store the tool in a dry place when not in use. Charge the batteries properly and don't overcharge them. Following these simple steps will keep your crimper in great shape for a long time.
