Using the Greenlee EK1550SLXB is a breeze. First, make sure you have a fully - charged 18V battery as it's not included in the package. Insert the battery into the crimper. Select the right 'P' or 'U' style crimping die for your connector and cable size. Place the connector on the cable and position them in the crimper's head. Squeeze the trigger, and the two - stage hydraulic system will quickly do its job. The Intelligent Crimping System will let you know if the crimping force is okay. When you're done with a crimp, the Automatic Retraction Stop will get the crimper ready for the next one. When it comes to safety, always operate the crimper within the temperature range of 1 F to 104 F. Don't use it in wet or explosive environments. To keep it in good shape, clean the crimper regularly with a dry cloth. Check the battery contacts and make sure they're clean. Lubricate the moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer. Store it in a dry place when not in use.
