4.3. Production Operation
To avoid personal injury, always keep guards in place while operating the machine under power. The guards cover
moving parts that could cause personal injury.
1. Check the machine to ensure that correct dies are installed. If necessary, refer to Section 8 for die
replacement procedure. To convert the machine to run closed–end splices or spare wire caps, refer to
the conversion procedure in Section 8.
2. Strip wire ends to length specified in the instruction material packaged with the dies.
3. With the machine connected to the power supply, place the main power switch in the ON position.
4. Insert the pre–stripped wire into the product wire barrel until the wire end contacts the internal wire
stop. See Figure 13. Depress and release the foot switch to cycle the machine.
5. Remove the crimped product and inspect for proper crimping. Refer to the crimp inspection procedure
packaged with the dies.
6. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 until the desired number of terminations has been made.
7. Upon completion, place the main power switch in the OFF position. If it is not to be used in the near
future, DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY.
4.4. Clearing Jammed Product
Products not crimped onto wire are difficult to remove from crimping dies. To prevent terminal jams during
setup and maintenance procedures,
always insert a wire into the product wire barrel when crimping.
Product may also jam or pile up in the moving die if vertical movement of the wire stop is out of adjustment.
Refer to Section 7 for any adjustments that may be necessary.
