SEMI-PROFESSIONAL CRIMPING HANDTOOL FOR MODULAR PLUGS
(Ordering Number K730)
Crimping handtool K730 is intended for crimping of variety of modular plugs. For that purpose, individual die sets are
available for crimping of corresponding type of microplugs.

Description
Crimping handtools K730 with corresponding interchangeable die sets made of special zinc alloy is intended for
universal use in the field as well as for small and medium assemblies.
Handtool is equipped with full cycle ratchet mechanism which with optimized leverage system within the tools make
working with these tools easy and simple. In case of improper crimp, ratchet release mechanism allows you to easily
open the handtool and remove obstruction before work is continued. (See other page of this manual.)
Tool itself also incorporates possibility of periodical adjustment of the crimping force and tool recalibration via eccentric
axle to maintain correct crimp performance. (See other page of this manual.)

Die set selection and instalation
With die sets only microplugs of appropriate type can be used. Crimping microplugs of unsuitable type may result
with unsatisfactory characteristics of crimped connections and eventually with damaging of the tools and is to be
strictly avoided. Prior to crimping, please check the alignment of the microplug to the die set. Check the alignment of
contact crimp comb with contacts (A) and primary (C) and secondary (B) strain relief (if any).
Fig.1.
*Note: Fig.1. represents unshielded 8P microplug and corresponding part of
die-set. Shielded microplugs lack primary (3) and secondary (2) strain relief
booth and unshielded CAT5 plugs lack secondary (2) strain relief booth.
Choose die-sets correspondingly.
Failing to do so will damage microplugs and possibly die-sets as well.
To install die set, unscrew die set locking
screw - B, then fully open handles of the
handtool and squeeze them so much as to
allow the allen screw head - A on the die set
to fit into its place on the platen - C. Position
die set as shown on the Fig.2., insert it into
the slot on the handtool and press it in. After
making sure that it is correctly aligned with
the handtool, tighten locking screw - B to
prevent die set falling out of its position and
check if handtool opens and closes with no
difficulties.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USAGE AND MAINTENANCE OF CRIMPING HANDTOOL K730
To obtain best crimping results, trouble-free function and long lifetime of the tool, please follow further instructions for
usage and maintenance.
Terminating procedure
After cable and microplug have been prepared, open handtool and
insert microplug assembly into the opening of the die set (as shown
on Fig.1.) until plugs´ locking tab (A) snaps into place. Check if
microplug is properly positioned in the die set and slowly close the
tool completely until ratchet mechanism is released. Press locking tab
(A) on the microplug and remove crimped connection from the die set.
Fig.1.
Unblocking the tool
Should the handtool become blocked during the work due to faulty crimp or because of presence of an foreign object
in the tools’ mechanism, the obstruction must be removed before the work with the tool is resumed by performing
following actions:
IMPORTANT: Apply working force on the tool
handles while unblocking. It will prevent hurting
yourself and possible damages of the tool.
Using small screwdriver or similar tool, push the
ratchet relief (A), located inside moving handle, ( Fig.
2.) in direction as shown to unblock the tool, and
remove obstruction before continuing with the work.
With this tool only microplugs of appropriate type
have to be used. Crimping microplugs of unsuitable
type may result with unsatisfactory characteristics of
crimped connections and eventually with damaging of
the tools and is to be strictly avoided.
Fig. 2.
Although tools’ lever system allows user to exert very high forces, forcing the tool by any means into closed position
by applying very large force onto handles is to be strictly avoided as it may cause irreparable damage to crimping
dies and/or to handtool itself.
Tool regulation procedure
After prolonged work period, tool crimping performance can change slightly due to final self-adjustment of the tools’
components. That is why handtool is equipped with eccentric axle which allows periodical adjustment of the crimping
force and tool recalibration to maintain correct crimp performance.
1. Loosen and remove allen head screw (A) using a 2.5
mm allen wrench. (Fig.3.)
2. Using a screw driver turn eccentric axle (B) and
toothed adjustment wheel (C) into new position.

General remarks
•Crimping handtool K730 with corresponding die sets is intended for crimping of modular microplugs. Using this
handtool for any other purpose or for crimping any other elements can result in damaging the tool and the elements
being crimped and prevention of its normal further functioning for what manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
•For removal of dust, moisture and other contaminants usage of clean brush or soft, lint-free cloth is recommended. Do
not use agressive agents (thinner, alcohol,...) or hard objects that could damage the tool.
•Make sure that during the work bearing surfaces, shafts and pivot points are protected with thin coat of quality
machine or motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
•When the tool is not in use, store it in a closed position – with handles closed. That will keep other objects from
becoming stuck between crimping dies and damaging them. Keep the tool in dry, clean area.
