OPERATION
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will
release the handles, and the hand tool will spring open.
Crimping Terminals
1.
Place the terminal into the correct die profile (A or B) in the jaws of the hand tool.
2.
Partially close the tool until the terminal is held in place. See Figure 1. If the insulation diameter is too large to
do this, then place the insulation down into the terminal before closing the tool.
3.
Position a wire into the terminal so the wire lines up with the conductor and insulation grips visually.
4.
Finish closing the hand tool until the ratchet releases. See Figure 4.
5.
Then open the tool and carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of,
and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1.
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with a clean
brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2.
Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3.
Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are
protected with a thin coat of high quality machine oil. Do not oil
excessively.
4.
When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping
dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
