3. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown in Figure1. Insert the proper terminal into the proper nest opening. Make
sure when choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with the A, B or c profile on the hand tool.
4. Return the locator to its original position.
5. Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 3 and 4.
6. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release handles to
open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
7. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on the wire. The
terminal locator can be in either position.
8. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp
location.
Note:
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as Reference
Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands, insulation
diameters, and durometers, actual crimp height measurements
may very slightly. An occasional, destructive, pull force test
should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value
must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed.
