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. 
 

Crimping Terminals 

 
1.  Lift the locator blade and place the terminal into the 

correct die profile (A or B), release the locator blade.  
Not all tools are equipped with a locator or locator blade. 

2.  Partially close the tool until the terminal is held in place, 

(See Figure 2). 

3.  Place a wire into the terminal and up against the locator blade, (See Figure 3).  On tools 

without locators line the wire up with the conductor and insulation grips visually.
