Crimping Procedure
(1)
Hold the handles with the tool positioned as shown below, facing the operator. Feed terminals one
at a time (using pre-cut strips), into the crimping area of the hand-tool, through terminal guide by
hand.
(2)
Straighten wire before placing in hand-tool. Insert the stripped end of the wire into wire barrel of
terminal, verifying that all conductor strands are contained within the terminal’s conductor tines.
(3)
Close handles with wire held in crimping area until the ratchet feature releases.
•
In order to obtain the appropriate crimp condition, this hand-tool is provided with a
ratchet-release mechanism. Close the handle fully to reach the proper crimp condition and
allow for opening of the hand tool. Remove terminal after crimping.
(4)
Move the terminal strip to locate another terminal into position for the next termination.
(5)
Lightly oil every third to fourth wire and insulation terminal barrels using terminal lubrication
(i.e.: Chemlube #1102).
