Frequently asked questions

How do I change the battery in the SF‑Z0054 pliers?

Pull out the battery holder, remove the CR2025 cell, insert a new CR2025 battery, and ensure the pliers are set to the lower stop before reinserting the holder.

What is the procedure to calibrate the crimping pliers?

Remove the battery, open the pliers, turn the adjustment knob to the lower stop, insert the battery (display shows “CAL”), adjust with the gauge, hold ON/OFF and press MODE for at least 5 seconds, then release; the display will jump to the gauge value and the tool is calibrated.

E1 appears when the wear limit has been reached; if it persists after calibration, the pliers are worn and must be sent in for service.

How do I turn the pliers on and off?
