Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the desired
terminal listed in the preceding charts. Make sure that the
proper locator is mounted on the tool.
2.
Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool shown in
Figure 4. Some terminals with large insulation grips may
interfere with the crimp tooling when swinging the locator into
position. The terminal must then be loaded into the locator in
the closed/crimp position.
3.
When using the desired locator, swing the locator away from
the crimp tool, and gently press the locator against the tool
frame as shown in Figure 4. The wire stop will automatically
open. Insert the proper terminal into the proper nest opening.
Make sure when choosing the nest opening, it will correspond
with the A or B profile on the hand tool.
4.
Return the locator to its original position.
5.
Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Some large O.D. wires
may need to be placed into the terminal before closing the tool.
Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire.
See Figure 5.
6.
Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the
ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release
handles to open the jaws.
7.
Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
8.
Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
For the Battery Power Tool:
1.
Cycle the Battery Power Tool to crimp the terminal to the wire.
2.
Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pressing down on the wire stop and gently pulling on
the wire. The terminal locator can be in either position.
