1. Strip the wire to the dimension provided in

Figure 2, being careful to avoid nicking or

damaging the conductor(s).

Do NOT use wire with nicked or missing

conductors.

Make sure terminal insulation color code matches

tool handle color.

2. Open the tool jaws by closing the tool handles

until the ratchet releases, then allow the handles to

open fully.

3. Place the terminal in the dies so that the wire

barrel butts against the locator.

4. Close the tool handles until the terminal is held

firmly in place. Do NOT deform the terminal.

5. Insert properly stripped wire into the terminal

until the end of the conductor butts against the

locator.

Do NOT allow wire insulation to enter the

terminal wire barrel.

6. Complete the crimp by closing the tool handles

until the ratchet releases.

7. Release the tool handles, allow the handles to

open fully, and remove the crimped terminal.

8. Observe the dot code on the finished crimp to

ensure that the correct terminal and tool

combination was used. See Figure 2.

9. Refer to Section 4 and Figure 4 for terminal

crimp inspection procedure.
