How to Install the CD-720-4 Compression Tool

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing and configuring the CD-720-4 compression tool for effective use in electrical applications.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Terminal connectors

  1. Install the die

    Open the handles of the CD-720-4 tool until fully extended. Insert the selected die into the recess in the tool head with the compression pocket facing the jaw, and tighten the die retention screw firmly.

  2. Adjust the tool

    Lay the tool on a flat surface and close the handles until the jaw just contacts the die. Measure the distance between the grips; it should be between 10" and 13". Adjust the screw accordingly if the distance is outside this range.

  3. Perform a visual inspection

    Inspect the tool for any missing or loose pins and ensure the dies are not worn or damaged. If any issues are found, contact your local Panduit Sales Office for repair or replacement.

  4. Prepare for compression

    Insert the bare conductor into the terminal connector, ensuring it is positioned correctly within the compression pocket. Close the handles completely to perform the compression.

  5. Lubricate the tool

    Monthly, wipe the tool and dies clean with a lint-free cloth and lubricate the pivot pins with SAE 20 or equivalent machine oil to ensure smooth operation.
