Frequently Asked Questions

What safety precautions should I take with the CT-1006?

Verify power is 'OFF' before working on wiring, as the plastic grips do not insulate against electrical shock.

What is the crimping mechanism of the CT-1006?

The CT-1006 features a controlled cycle mechanism that prevents the tool from opening before the crimp cycle is complete.

How do I insert a ferrule into the CT-1006?

With the handles open, insert the ferrule into the crimp pocket, ensuring it is fully inserted into the crimp die.

Can the CT-1006 crimp both insulated and non-insulated ferrules?

Yes, the CT-1006 has crimp pockets for both insulated and non-insulated ferrules, depending on wire range.

What is the recommended lubrication for the CT-1006?

Lubricate all pins, pivots, and bearing surfaces with DOW CORNING® Molykote BR2 Plus after cleaning.

How should I maintain the CT-1006 tool?

In-service tools should be cleaned and inspected at least once a month and lubricated once a week with DOW CORNING® Molykote BR2 Plus.

How often should I inspect the CT-1006 tool?

Inspect the tool visually for missing or loose pins and check the crimping dies for wear at least once a month.

What should I do if the crimping tool does not release?

Use the manual release lever by pushing it forward if the controlled cycle mechanism does not release.

What is the proper storage for the CT-1006?

Store the tool in a clean, dry area with the handles closed to prevent objects from getting lodged in the crimping area.
