DESCRIPTION
(Figures 1 and 3)
The FRONT OF TOOL (contact side), is where the contact is inserted. The BACK OF TOOL (wire side), is
where the wire is inserted and has the wire size markings above each crimp section.
Each tool features a fixed die (crimper), a movable die (anvil), two crimp sections with applicable wire size
markings, a flip locator, a wire stop, and a ratchet release lever.
Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed.
CAUTION
The ratchet ensures full crimping of the contact. This is a design feature that ensues maximum electrical and tensile
performance of the crimp. Do NOT readjust the ratchet.
The flip locator positions the contact in the crimping die, and the wire stop aids in locating the wire in the
contact. In use, it rests in the transition area of the connector. See Figures 2 and 3.
The flip locator prevents the contact from bending during the crimping procedure.
The ratchet release lever enables the user to open the partially closed tool handles when necessary.
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
