Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used to

position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A

washer and nut is used on the lower die retaining

screw to hold the locator in place.

3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die

retaining screws from the tool jaws.

2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil in the

moving jaw so that their chamfered sides and

their marked surfaces face outward, when

mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.

3. Insert the two die retaining pins.

4. Insert the long die retaining screw through the

jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the

screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do

not tighten the screw completely at this time.

5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper

in the stationary jaw so that their chamfered sides

and their marked surfaces face outward, when

mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.

6. Insert the two die retaining pins.

7. Insert the short die retaining screw through the

jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten

the screw just enough to hold the dies in place.

Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.

8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure

that the anvils and crimpers align properly.

Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet

in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold

the anvils and crimpers in place, then tighten both

die retaining screws.

9. Place the locator over the end of the long

screw, and position the locator against the side of

the tool jaw.

10. Place the washer and nut onto the end of the

long screw. Align the locator slot with the

crimping section and carefully tighten the nut.

11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until

the ratchet releases, remove the nut, the washer,

the locator, the two die retaining screws, and the

four die retaining pins, and slide the anvils and

crimpers out of the tool jaws.

4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE

This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment

feature. Initially, the crimp height should be verified

as specified in Figure 4. Refer to Section 6, Crimp

Height Inspection, and Section 7, Crimp Height

Adjustment, to verify crimp height before using the
