How to Operate the TBM12PCR-LI Hydraulic Compression Tool
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing and operating the TBM12PCR-LI hydraulic compression tool, including battery charging, installation, die selection, and performing safe electrical compressions.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Flat blade screwdriver
Supplies needed:
MAKITA LXT 18V battery pack (BAT-MK), Battery charger (CHR-MK), Appropriate size dies for the connector, Connectors, Conductors, Safety glasses and other required PPE
- Charge the Battery Pack
Connect the BAT-MK battery charger to a 120V AC power source. Insert the BAT-MK battery firmly into the charger. Allow approximately 45 minutes for a full charge, indicated by a green LED and an audible signal. Safety Warning: If the LED flashes red (high temperature), allow the battery to cool before charging. Do not place foreign objects in the charger. Only use 120V AC power.
- Attach Battery and Install Dies
Slide the fully charged BAT-MK battery pack into the base of the TBM12PCR-LI tool until the latches engage. Select the appropriate size dies for your connector and insert one die half into the C-head by sliding it in while pulling the Die Release Knob. Press the advance trigger to move the Ram forward until the Die Release Pin is accessible, then insert the other die half into the Ram while pressing the Die Release Pin. Safety Warning: Disconnect the battery pack before changing accessories. Wear safety glasses and any other required PPE.
- Prepare and Perform Compression
Press the advance trigger to lightly hold the connector between the dies without deforming it. Insert the conductor into the connector. Press and hold the advance trigger until the compression is complete, indicated by clicks, pressure release, a green LED, and an audible beep. Safety Warning: Never attempt compression on a "HOT" line; disconnect and verify power is off. This tool is NOT insulated for use on or near energized conductors. Keep hands and other body parts away from the crimping head during compression due to pinch points and high force.
- Retract Ram and Remove Connector
Press the release button to retract the ram. Once fully retracted, remove the compressed connector from the tool.
- Adjust Auto-Retract (Optional Configuration)
To toggle the auto-retraction feature, remove the rubber grommet and use a flat blade screwdriver to rotate the internal indicator 90 degrees to the desired position. Safety Warning: Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments.
