Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Pressmaster Proteus 10H is ready for use out of the box. Ensure the tool is clean and free from debris before its first use.
Compatibility: This tool is designed for crimping insulated and non-insulated ferrules/wire end sleeves using a hexagonal crimp profile. It is compatible with wire sizes ranging from 0.14 mm² to 10.0 mm² (AWG 26 to 8). Ensure the ferrules used are compatible with hexagonal crimping and fall within the specified wire gauge range.
Care:
- Keep the tool clean: Wipe down with a dry or slightly damp cloth after use. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Lubricate pivot points: Periodically apply a small amount of light machine oil to the pivot mechanism to ensure smooth operation.
- Inspect for wear: Regularly check the crimping dies and handles for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Replace parts if necessary.
- Store properly: Store in a dry environment, preferably in a protective case or pouch, to prevent damage and corrosion.
