7.
Push the contact until the contact touches the stopper-block. Check that the carrier of the
contact goes into the groove of the carrier-cutter.
Do not push on the contact when the contact touches the stopper-block,
because the contact will become distorted.
8.
Compress the hand tool by one notch, then position the cable within the tool as shown
below.
9.
Hold the cable steady and fully compress the handle, to complete the crimping operation.
Do not attempt to open the tool before fully compressing it, as this may damage both tool
and crimp.
10.
Release the tool, and the handle will open automatically. Remove the cable and the contact
from the crimp tool. Also remove the piece of cut carrier from the tool, as this will jam the
tool if left in position.
11.
If the crimped contact cannot be easily removed, a further operation of the tool will loosen
the contact.
