OPERATION

Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of the

closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the handles, and

the hand tool will spring open.

Crimping Terminals

1. Lift the wire stop blade up.

2. Insert the terminal fully into the correct die profile and the locator

slot until the terminal is fully seated and stops.

3. Push down the wire stop blade. Make sure the wire stop blade is

fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip section.

4. Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal; make sure to aim the wire end towards the tip point on the wire

stop blade. See Figure 1. Align the wire so that it is parallel to, and sitting into the terminal. Maintain a light

and constant pressure on the wire that is seated in the terminal at all times. (Do not let go of the wire.) Be sure

to hold the wire and terminal in place until the terminal is fully crimped. See Figure 2.

CAUTION: Pushing the wire against the Wire Stop Blade with too much force can cause wire strands to

bend up and above the top of the conductor crimp. If this occurs, depress strands below the top of the

conductor crimp to prevent matte seal damage.

5. Close the tool until the ratchet releases.

6. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.

Note: To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be

followed.

Maintenance

It is recommended that each operator of the tool be

made aware of, and responsible for, the following

maintenance steps:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.

2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could

damage the tool.

3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing

surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high

quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively.

4. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed

to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the

crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry

area.
