a. Slide the Horizontal Adjustment Block towards the tool handles, allowing the Vertical Adjustment
Plate to rest on the appropriate crimp barrel.
b. Position the Vertical Adjustment Plate in the transition area of the terminal, allowing clearance
between the Vertical Adjustment Plate and the transition area to prevent the terminal from
binding in the tool.
c. Tighten the Vertical Adjustment Screws.
d. With the Vertical Adjustment Plate resting on the appropriate crimp barrel, tighten the Horizontal
Adjustment Screws.
CAUTION
Do not over-tighten any of the adjustment screws, as damage to the tool may occur.

5. Test the adjustments by sliding the terminal strip left and right. If the terminal strip is tight and does
not slide easily, loosen the Horizontal Adjustment Screws and slide the Horizontal Adjustment Block
towards the contact body to allow more clearance between the contact barrels and Strip Guide.
CAUTION
The terminal strip should have minimal clearance between the Insulation or Wire Barrel and the Strip Guide. Excessive
clearance may allow tab length to exceed the TE requirement for the specific terminal being cut.
