The flat conductor cable (7) must make contact with the crimp contact support (2) of the tool head and the correct edge of the flat conductor cable (7) must make contact with the adjusting stop (3), otherwise mounting and polarity of the crimp contacts (1) may be incorrect. Furthermore, the flat conductor cable (7) with the optical adjusting device (4) must be aligned so that the optical adjusting device (4) is fully visible between 2 conductor tracks.

The power supply battery of the optical adjusting device (4) can be replaced in case of requirement. It is located below a cover on the underside of the tool head.
Squeeze crimp pliers until stop is reached and remove crimped connection.
The crimp pliers must be squeezed until stop is reached before they will open again.
