Using the Milwaukee M18 FORCE LOGIC 12T Kearney Linear Crimper is easy. First, make sure to check the battery charge before starting a crimp. The pre - crimp battery check function will do this for you automatically. Once the battery has enough charge, select the appropriate die for your connector using the pull - pin die retention system. You can change the dies quickly without any tools. Then, position the crimper at the right angle. Thanks to its 340° rotating head and linear design, you can use it in different orientations with one hand. Press the enlarged trigger to start the crimping process. You'll know it's successful when the green LED lights up. When it comes to maintenance, keep the tool clean. The weather - protected electronics help keep dirt, dust, and moisture out, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down after use. Store the tool in a dry place. Also, check the batteries regularly. If they start to lose their charge quickly, it might be time to replace them. Always use industry - standard Kearney dies with this crimper to ensure the best performance.
