4. Installation and Removal of Die Assembly
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, then allow the handles to open fully. If present, remove both
retaining screws from the tool frame.
2. Orient the insulation stuffer as shown in Figure 2, and insert it into the stationary jaw of the tool frame. Align
the holes with the associated holes in the tool frame. Insert the short retaining pins and short retaining screw
into the holes in the tool frame. Tighten the screw.
3. Orient the housing support as shown in Figure 2, and insert it into the moving jaw of the tool frame. Align the
holes with the associated holes in the tool frame. Orient the right housing guide as shown, and mount it onto
the tool frame using the long retaining pins. Insert the long retaining screw through the hole in the right housing
guide. Tighten the screw.
4. Refer to Figure 2. Orient the left housing guide as shown, and secure it onto the tool frame using the tension
adjusting nut. Tighten the tension adjusting nut using an assembled modular plug connector assembly.
Note:
Adjust the tension adjusting nut to allow the assembly to fit (snugly).
