Usage & Maintenance Tips
Before use, ensure your module or block is accessible and clear of any debris. Choose the correct impact setting (low for smaller gauge wires, high for thicker conductor groups). Use the blade’s terminate-only or terminate-plus-cut mode based on installation requirements. Store the tool with spare blade locked in the handle storage to avoid damage or loss. Periodically inspect the blade and impact mechanism for wear; replace the blade if terminations become uneven.
Important Note
This tool is intended for terminating 110-type IDC modules only. It is not suitable for Krone-type or other termination systems unless specified. Always follow local installation standards and ensure the tool is used safely in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
