Crimping Operation:
1)
Squeeze the handles until the dies are completely
closed. The Ratchet will release allowing the
handles to open.
2)
Remove the adjustment pin from the upper die and
then remove the upper die from the tool.
3)
Select the side that matches the wire size that will be
used.
4)
Refer to Fig. 2. Position the upper die and insert it
so the guide screw is inserted in the guide groove of
the upper die (on the insulation barrel side). The
guide screw prevents the die from being inserted the
wrong way. Do not remove the guide screw.
5)
Insert the carrier strip of the terminals into the tool
between the terminal guide and the guide plate. The
insulation barrel of the terminal must be fed into the
groove on the guide plate as shown in Fig. 3. Feed
the terminals into the tool by hand until the first
terminal is in the crimping position over the anvils.
6)
With the terminal in the crimping position lightly
squeeze the handles together until the upper
crimper touches the insulation barrel. Do not put
too much pressure on the terminal at this point.
Deforming the terminal will prevent the wire from
being inserted.
7)
Insert a stripped wire into the upper die until the
insulation of the stripped wire lightly touches the
stripper as shown in Fig.4.
8)
Holding the wire in the correct position squeeze
the handles until the ratchet releases.
9)
Remove the terminal and make a visual inspection
of the completed crimped terminal.
