Shear - positions the connector at the proper depth

location and is a shearing surface for the wire.

NOTE

i

The wire inserter and the shear can be rotated

180° to extend the usable life of these parts.

3. SETUP ADJUSTMENTS AND TEST

The insertion rod adjuster is preset for wire sizes 22

through 26 AWG. If, after a termination, the wire is

inserted too deeply or not deeply enough inside the

contact, it may be necessary to adjust the depth of the

wire inserter.

3.1. For Pistol Grip Manual Handle Assembly

1. Select the appropriate cable size and prepare the

cable as shown in Figure 2.

2. Select a connector and place it in the tool. Make

a test termination using the procedures described in

Section 4, TERMINATING PROCEDURE.

NOTE

i

The connector may be loaded and indexed

(manually) from either side of the tool.

3. Remove terminated connector.

4. Inspect the connector for proper termination

using the inspection requirements in Figure 5.

If the wire insertion depth is incorrect, proceed to

Paragraph 3.2, Wire Insertion Depth Adjustment.

to Figure 3. A 1/6-revolution adjustment will reduce

until the desired insertion depth is attained.

4. TERMINATION PROCEDURE

Multi-pair copper-conductor cables must be prepared

as follows:

1. Strip the cable jacket and untwist the individual

conductors to the dimension shown in Figure 2.

2. Insert connector into the terminating head (from

either side) and position the connector so that the

two terminals are aligned under the two wire slots.

NOTE

i

The terminating head will terminate two wires at

the same time. Since the connector must be

manually located and advanced, make sure that

the proper terminals are located under the wire

slots of the connector.

3. Select a pair of wires; then insert each wire into

the appropriate wire slot that corresponds with the

proper color code. Insert the wire until the twist of

the wire pair is against the cover. See Figure 4.

NOTE

i

The wire ends must be visible from the back of the

terminating head to ensure there is enough wire to

shear.

4. Squeeze the cam handle of the pistol grip handle

assembly until the ratchet releases. This will shear

the wires and insert the wires into the wire slots of

the connector.
