2.
Rotate the setting wheel counter-clockwise (CCW) to increase handle force. The numbers will display higher.
To decrease handle force rotate the setting wheel clockwise (CW).
3.
Release the link to lock the setting wheel in place.
4.
Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted.
Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 30
days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will

CAUTIONS:
1.
Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume or field repair. This tool is
NOT
intended for
production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2.

4.
Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
Certification
Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-certify
hand tools.
%
This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
25mm (1.00”) per minute. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull
testing.
%
If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).
%
When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
