Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document for
the proper locator order number. Follow the steps
below to replace the locator.
1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure
7A with your thumb and index finger. The lower
tabs of the locator should disengage from the hand
tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top
locator hooks should slip out of the top slots easily.
See Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the hand
tool is in the open position.
5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go as shown in Figure 7B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the locators top hooks (2)
into the hand tool top slots.

locator into place, the lower tabs must snap into place on the hand tool frame.
Right or Left Hand Operation
This hand tool has an added feature that can be
converted from a right handed application to a left
handed application. It is necessary to reverse the
tooling if using the left handed application along with the
locator. Follow the steps below:
1. The locator must be removed before reversing the
tooling.
2. Remove the M3 BHCS which is holding the upper tooling.
3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make sure the small markings on the
front and back of the hand tool frame, match up and are on the outside of the hand tool frame. See Figure 8
and 9.
4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be sure the small markings line up.
5. Reinstall the locator by following the Instructions in the locator replacement section.

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.
