DESCRIPTION
Each die assembly consists of an upper die (crimper) and a lower die (anvil), a die retention screw (on upper
die), and a hex wrench for securing the socket head setscrew to the lower die and onto the hand tool platform.
When mated, the dies form two crimping chambers, each marked with the wire size range.
The die assemblies are identified by the part number, color dot code, and applicable wire range markings.
Refer to Figure 2. The color dot code on the die assembly must match the color-coded terminal.

NOTE
If lower die will not position properly, use hex wrench provided with die assembly to turn socket head setscrew either in or out
until lower die positions properly. The setscrew must be flush on both sides.
