CAUTION:
Crimp only the Molex terminals listed in the scope for this tool. Do not crimp

mechanism will release the handles and the hand tool will spring open. See Figure 1.
Crimping Terminals
1.

tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.

While holding in the locator button, load the terminal into the proper
nest opening in the locator, based on the wire gauge or terminal
type markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.

Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the
crimping position.
