2. DESCRIPTION
The tool features crimper and anvil jaws, color coded
wire size marking, spring actuated handles with
cushioned hand grips, and a ratchet mechanism which
will not release until the tool handles have been
FULLY closed, thus ensuring a reliable crimp
termination.
If the ratchet should need adjustment, refer to
Paragraph 4.2.C.

)
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
then allow the tool handles to open fully.
2. Select the appropriate cavity for the splice being
crimped.
3. Align conductor portion of terminal in the cavity
as shown in Figure 2.
4. Close the tool carefully until the jaws grip the
terminal lightly and hold it in place without distortion.
5. Insert a properly stripped wire (Figure 2) into the
terminal until it bottoms.
6. To crimp, hold the wire in place, squeeze the
handles until the ratchet releases, allow the jaws to
open FULLY, and remove crimped splice.
4. MAINTENANCE/INSPECTION
