Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the proper locator on the locator assembly for the proper
terminal. The female locator is gray and is marked with an “F”. The
male locator is black and is marked with an “M”.
2.
To position the desired locator, pull up on the knurled pin and turn
180
°
till the locator fits snuggly in the slot. See Figure 3, Assembly
Drawing.
3.
Lift the wire stop blade up.
4.
Insert the terminal fully into the correct die profile and the locator slot
until the terminal is fully seated and stops.
5.
Bring down the wire stop blade. Make sure the wire stop blade is fully
seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip section.
6.
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 1. 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 2.
7.
Close the tool until the ratchet releases.
8.
Lift the wire stop blade up.
9.
Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note:
The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Note:
To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be followed.
Maintenance
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.
