Note:
The tamper-proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8.
Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal
locator by pulling on the wire.
9.
Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper
crimp location.
10.
On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible to
insert the wire with the tool partially closed. Those
wires should be inserted with the hand tool in the
open position. Insert the wire above the terminal in
the punch and against the wire stop, and then close
the tool. See Figure 6.
Locator Installation
Depending on the terminal to be crimped, the locator may need to be changed. Follow the steps
below to remove and install the locator:
1.
Open the hand crimp tool.
2.
Squeeze gently on the lower area
shown in Figure 7A with your thumb
and index finger. The lower tabs of the
locator should disengage from the
hand tool.
3.
Lift and pull away from the hand tool.
The top locator hooks should slip out
of the top slots easily. See Figure 7A.
4.
To reinstall the new locator, make sure
the hand tool is in the open position.
5.
Press the red insert down as far as it
will go as shown in Figure 7B.
6.
Holding onto the lower part of the
locator with your thumb and index
finger, insert the locator’s top hooks
into the hand tool’s top slots.
7.
Rotate the locator down and press the
lower tabs into the two bottom slots of
the hand tool. To secure the locator
into place, the lower tabs must snap
into place on the hand tool frame.
Right- or Left-Handed Operation
This hand tool has an added feature in that it can
be converted from a right-handed application to
a left-handed application. It is necessary to
reverse the tooling if using the left-handed
application along with the locator. Follow the
steps below:
1.
The locator must be removed before
reversing the tooling.
2.
Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding
the upper tooling.
