2. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. See Section 5, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR.
3. Inspect head assembly for worn, cracked, or
broken dies. If damage is evident, return the tool
for evaluation and repair. See Section 5,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
4.4. Crimping Die Closure Inspection
This inspection requires the use of two plug gages
conforming to the dimensions shown in Figure 5. Tyco
Electronics does not manufacture or market these
gages.
To gage die closure, refer to Figure 6 and proceed as
follows:
1. Remove traces of oil or dirt from the crimping
chamber and plug gage.
2. Close the tool handles until it is evident that the
dies have bottomed; then hold in this position. Do
NOT force the dies beyond initial contact.
3. Align the GO element of the proper plug gage
with the braid crimp section. Push element straight
into the crimp section without using force. The GO
element must pass completely through the crimp
section.
4. Check the braid crimp section with the NO--GO
element in the same manner as step 3. The
GO--GO element may start entry, but must not
pass completely through the crimp section.
5. Check the splice crimp section by repeating
Steps 3 and 4 using the proper plug gage.
If die closures conforms to the gage inspections, the
crimp sections are considered dimensionally correct.
If correct, the tool should be lubricated with a thin
coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil and returned to
service. If not correct, the tool must be returned for
further evaluation and repair. Refer to Section 5,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. For additional
information regarding the use of a plug gage, refer
to instruction sheet 408--7424.
4.5. CERTI- CRIMP Ratchet Inspection
The CERTI--CRIMP ratchet feature on Tyco
Electronics hand tools should be checked to ensure
that the ratchet does not release prematurely,
