Crimping Terminals
1.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding
charts.

Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool
shown in Figure 3. 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. See Figure 4.

Press down on the wire stop on the locator as shown
in Figure 5. Insert the proper terminal into the proper
nest opening. Make sure when choosing the nest
opening, it will correspond with the A, B, or C profile
on the hand tool. See Figure 4.

Return the locator to its original position.
5.
Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Gently touch
the wire stop with the end of the wire.
See Figure 5 and 6.

Release handles to open the jaws.
Note
: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
