3 Operation
3.1 Crimping
NOTE
The tool is designed to provide a complete crimp with every cycle. When the control button is pressed and held, the tool will
cycle until it has returned to the starting position.
Depending on the size and type of wires, the operator will use one of two splice sizes, along with the
corresponding die set in the tool. To determine the correct splice and die set for your application, refer to Figure
3. Find the correct size, composition, and combination of wires encountered, then determine the correct splice
as shown in Figure 4.
Also listed is the color code found on the splice and on the proper die set on the tool.
1. Use Table 2 to select the correct splice size, based on the size and composition of the wires to be
spliced.
