To handle assembly
Use quick-disconnect fittings to connect the tool to the air supply. If not using quick-disconnect fittings, provide
a pneumatic lock-out on the air line that bleeds air after it is turned off.
The handle assembly is designed to operate with an air pressure range of 276 to 483 kPa [40 to 70 psi].
Service life can be greatly extended when only the necessary air pressure is applied. Excessive pressure
causes wear and strain on handle assembly components and the connectors.
CAUTION
Do not use this tool as a blunt object, a crushing device, or for any purpose other than crimping the proper specified product.
Inappropriate use of the tool can result in personal injury or damage to the tool.

OPERATION
The following procedure provides only general information concerning crimping. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the terminating heads for detailed information, including wire stripping dimensions and
instructions for positioning terminals in the terminating heads.
1. Insert the connector into the left side of the head.
2. Align the contact to be terminated with the wire inserter of the head. Make sure that the locating pawl
rests between the connector index ribs.
3. Insert an unstripped wire into the funnel area between the contact and the wire inserter until it bottoms
on the tool base.
4. Press the trigger of the handle assembly and hold it until the wire inserter bottoms.
5. Release the trigger. The wire inserter retracts. The feed slide automatically advances the connector to
the next contact position.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all contacts have been terminated.
7. Inspect each termination.
