DIE INSTALLATION: • TO INSTALL CD-720 SERIES DIES, OPEN HANDLES UNTIL FULLY EXTENDED. • INSERT DIE INTO RECESS IN TOOL HEAD WITH SELECTED COMPRESSION POCKET FACING JAW. • ALIGN HOLE IN DIE WITH DIE RETENTION SCREW AND FIRMLY TIGHTEN SCREW. • CHECK THAT TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED AS INSTRUCTED. 10” TOOL ADJUSTMENT: • ADJUST TOOL WITH ANY CD-720 DIE INSTALLED BY LAYING TOOL ON A FLAT SURFACE AND CLOSING HANDLES UNTIL JAW JUST CONTACTS DIE. • MEASURE DISTANCE BETWEEN TIPS OF GRIPS AS SHOWN IN FIGURE 1. TOOL IS PROPERLY ADJUSTED WHEN DISTANCE MEASURED IS BETWEEN 10” (254 mm) AND 13” (330 mm). USE SCALE PROVIDED ABOVE. • IF LESS THAN 10”, TURN ADJUSTMENT SCREW CLOCKWISE; IF MORE THAN 13”, TURN COUNTERCLOCKWISE. FIGURE 2 13” WARNING: DO NOT USE THIS TOOL ON LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS! TOOL OPERATION: • INSERT BARED CONDUCTOR INTO CONNECTOR. • LOCATE CONNECTOR IN COMPRESSION POCKET SO THAT DIE IS BETWEEN COMPRESSION BANDS ON CONNECTOR. • COMPLETELY CLOSE HANDLES. REPEAT OPERATION FOR CONNECTORS THAT REQUIRE MORE THAN ONE COMPRESSION. TOOL MAINTENANCE: LUBRICATE PIVOT PINS ONCE A MONTH WITH SAE 20 OR EQUIVALENT MACHINE OIL. © 2015 Panduit Corp. Page: 1 of 2 PA24517A01_ 03 11/2015 CT-720 INSTALLATION TOOL: MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance and Inspection procedures should be performed at least once a month, whenever damage has occurred, or as often as operating conditions warrant. VISUAL INSPECTION 1. 2. 3. LUBRICATION 1. 2. Wipe tool and dies clean with a lint free cloth. Lubricate pivot pins with SAE20 or equivalent machine oil. Visually inspect tool for missing or loose pins and connecting hardware. Visually inspect the installing dies for worn, chipped or cracked surfaces. Damaged dies are objectionable and may go undetected when gauging the die closure (see chart below). If parts are missing or damaged, contact your local Panduit Sales Office for information on repair or replacement of tools. CT-720 DIE CLOSURE RANGE TABLE DIE PART COLOR CODE & DIA.

Lay tool on flat surface and close handles until jaw just contacts die. Measure distance between grips as shown in Figure 1. This distance should measure between 10" and 13". If distance is less than 10", turn adjustment screw clockwise; if more than 13", turn screw counterclockwise. CD-720-1 CD-720-2 DIE CLOSURE GAUGING NOTE: 1. 2. 3. Die closure gauging requires a pair of precision calipers capable of accurately measuring inside pocket dimensions. CD-720-3 Clean the die surfaces before gauging. Close handles until jaw and die are fully bottomed. Using precision calipers, measure the die pocket (ensure the measurement is taken across the parallel surfaces of the die) as shown in Figure 3. CD-720PV8-2 FIGURE 3 4. Compare the measured value to the CT-720 die closure range table on the right. 5. If the measured value falls into the specified range, the die closure is dimensionally correct. If the measured value is out of range, contact Panduit Tool Service Department at: 1-888-506-5400, ext. 83255. © 2015 Panduit Corp.
