1. SAFETY

1.1 ....... Basic information

The basic prerequisite for ensuring safe use and continuous operation of the CTFP-40 is knowledge of and compliance with the safety instructions.

It is a question of your own safety!

In addition, rules and regulations that apply to the place of use, particularly regarding accident prevention, must be observed.

1.2 ....... Symbols

The following symbols will be used in these operating instructions:

indicates a possible accident or injury hazard and/or possible damage to the CTFP-40.

indicates notes on application.

1.3 ....... Dangerousness of the machine

The CTFP-40 has been constructed according to recognized technical safety regulations and has undergone a safety examination and received official acceptance.

It is equipped with safety devices.

However, operating error and misuse could present a danger to:

life and limb of the operator,
the machine.

The CTFP-40 should only be used:

for the designated application and
in perfect condition with regard to technical safety.

All persons involved with commissioning, operating and maintaining the CTFP-40, must:

be appropriately qualified and follow these operating instructions precisely.

1.4 ....... Designated use

The CTFP-40 is to be used exclusively for crimping wire-end ferrules with cross sections between #24 - 12 AWG (0,25 and 4,0mm^2 ). Under no circumstances should large metal parts or similar objects be introduced; the die set will be ruined.

Unauthorized amendments to the CTFP-40 are prohibited for safety reasons!

! Observation of all instructions and compliance with the prescribed operating conditions are part of the designated use.

1.5 ....... Sources of danger

The CTFP-40 must only be operated when the finger guard is screwed on. Only filtered compressed air with a maximum pressure of 6 bar can be used.

Disconnect the machine from the compressed air before working on the CTFP-40, during breaks and when the device is not in use. Do not pull on the compressed air tubing to disconnect.

1.6 ...... Work places

The following should be avoided for operation and storage:

• damp or dusty places,
• places which are subject to high levels of heat, direct sunlight or low temperatures: operating range: 59^ to 95^ (15 °C to 35 °C).

Protect the compressed air tubing from heat, oil and sharp edges.

1.7 ...... Safety devices

The CTFP-40 has a finger guard at the front as a contact safety device.

Under no circumstances should this be removed.

The CTFP-40 is stopped when disconnected from the compressed air supply.

1.8 ....... Permitted operators

Only authorized and instructed operators can work on the CTFP-40. The operator is responsible to third parties in the working area.
