2. DESCRIPTION
(Figure 1)
The hand tool has a stationary lever and a movable
lever. These levers are compressed to pump
hydraulic fluid behind the ram, moving it forward and
thereby closing the dies. After the crimping is
complete, the movable lever is turned to depress the
plunger. The moving die retracts to its original
position, completing the crimping cycle.
3. DIE INSERTION AND REMOVAL
To avoid damage to the tooling, never operate
the tool with the diesremoved. Failure to insert
the diesbefore operation can result in damage to
the C"-Head or the tool ram.
Before inserting dies, refer to instruction sheet
packaged with dies for detailed instructions: insert or
remove dies, as necessary, by following procedures
given in the instruction sheet for the dies.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. Strip wires to dimensions specified on the
instructions packaged with dies (see Figure 2).
2. Insert the terminal or splice in stationary die
according to instruction sheet packaged with dies.
To avoid personal injury, be sure to exercise
caution while holding terminals, splices, or wire in
the crimping area.
3. Pump movable lever until moving die grips
terminal or splice.
Do not deform wire barrel of terminal or splice.
