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.
1.
With the hand tool in the open position, pivot the terminal
locator open by pulling up on the locator knob and lift the
wire stop blade up. See Figure 1.
2.
Insert the terminal into the correct profile until the terminal
is fully seated and stops. Make sure the wire stop blade is
fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip
section.
3.
Gently pivot the locator closed.
4.
Bring down the wire stop blade.
5.
Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal; make sure to aim the wire brush towards the tip point on the
wire stop blade. See Figure 2. Align the wire so that it is parallel 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 3.
6.
Close the tool until the ratchet releases.
7.
Lift the wire stop blade up.
8.
Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note:
To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be followed.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
