1.
Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2.
Make sure the center of the locator is in the down position. With the locator attached, push the locator button
on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
3.
While holding the locator button in, 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.
4.
Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping position.
5.
Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See Figure 4.
6.
Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the wire
stop. See Figure 5.
7.
Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet
mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open the
jaws.
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 then
close the tool. See Figure 6.
