OPERATION
Open the tool by first closing the jaws sufficiently for the ratchet
mechanism to release.
Crimping Terminals
1. Push up on the locator blade and position the terminal with
the barrel facing up into the color-coded nest with front
edge of the barrel against the locator (See Figure 1).
Release the locator blade to hold the terminal in position.
2. Partially close the tool to hold the terminal in place (See
Figure 2).
3. Insert the properly stripped wire into the terminal barrel
(See Figure 2 and 3). The wires end should butt against the
wire stop position of the locator. Cycle the tool.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has
been fully closed.
4. Lift the locator blade or wire stop and remove the crimped
terminal. Inspect for proper crimp location, and check for
insulation closure. Locator is adjustable up and down to
keep terminals straight after crimping.
5. If the insulation part of the crimp needs to be adjusted, first
loosen the M4 screw on the bottom tool jaw, then insert a
3/32 hex wrench (supplied) into the bottom of the lower die
(See Figure 5). A clockwise (CW) rotation decreases
insulation crimp while a counter-clockwise (CCW) rotation

adjusting retighten the M4 screw.
Note: Whenever crimping without
the locator, make sure the seam of
the terminal is oriented up or down
in the tool if using unbrazed product,
as this will provide higher pull force
