1.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2.
Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the
locator attached, push the locator button on the back of the hand tool to
bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
3.
While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into the proper nest
opening in the locator based on the wire gauge or terminal type
markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.
4.
Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping
position.
5.
Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure
4.
6.
Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the
wire stop. See Figure 5.
7.
Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet
mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open
the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8.
Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by
pulling on the wire.
9.
Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
10.
On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible to insert the
wire with the tool partially closed. Those wires should be
inserted with the hand tool in the open position. Insert the
wire above the terminal in the punch and against the wire stop
then close the tool. See Figure 6.
