2. Raise the tape release lever to prevent machine operation.
3. Turn the insulation crimp adjustment knob to No. 4 (loose) position.
4. Lower the tape release lever.
5. For PIDG terminals and splices, insert an unstripped wire into only the insulation “grip” portion of the
product.
PIDG terminals and splices provide a grip" on the wire insulation. PLASTI-GRIP terminals and splices provide a
support for the wire.
6. For PLASTI–GRIP terminals and splices, insert a
stripped wire into the product.
7. Hand–cycle the machine to crimp the wire into the product.
8. For PIDG products, bend the wire back and forth once. The product sleeve should retain grip on wire
insulation. If not, raise the tape release lever and turn the insulation crimp adjustment knob to the next
lower number; then repeat Steps 4 through 8.
9. For PLASTI–GRIP products, visually inspect the crimped product. The insulation crimp should
support (be in contact with) wire insulation. If not, raise release lever and turn the insulation adjustment
knob to the next lower number; then repeat Steps 4 through 7 and Step 9.
10. After obtaining the proper crimp, replace the front guard.
