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.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2.
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.
3.
Press down on the wire stop on the locator as
shown in Figure 4. Insert the proper terminal into
the proper nest opening. Make sure when
choosing the nest opening, it will correspond with
the profile on the hand tool. See Figure 5.
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.
6.
Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool
handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has
been completed. Release handles to open the jaws.
Note
: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
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.
