How to use

Select the correct connector and position the cable according to the connector manufacturer's instructions. Open the crimper, insert the connector into the appropriate crimping section, then close the handles evenly until the crimp is completed. Inspect the crimp visually and, where applicable, test the electrical or network connection to confirm continuity and mechanical integrity. Use the tool on clean, prepared wires and connectors to ensure reliable terminations.

Recommendations

For consistent results, maintain the crimping dies in good condition and clean them periodically. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Use the Knipex 97 90 14 within its intended connector types and sizes; excessive force or misapplication can damage both the tool and the connector.
