5. Release the feed pawl by pushing it forward
then move the carriage to left and remove the
connector from head assembly.
6. Inspect termination in accordance with
Application Specification 114--5103. If wire
insertion depth is incorrect or if the carriage is not
feeding properly, refer to Section 5.
5. ADJUSTMENTS
5.1. Wire Insertion Depth
(See Figure 5)
A. For Pistol Grip Manual Handle Assembly
If the wire is too deep in the contact insulation
displacement slot, remove the head from the tool and
turn the adjuster
1
/
6
--revolution
clockwise
. This will
reduce the wire insertion depth by approximately
0.20 mm [.008 in.]. Install the head onto the tool; then
terminate and inspect a sample connector.
If the wire is not deep enough in the contact insulation
displacement slot, remove the head from the tool and
turn the adjuster
1
/
6
--revolution
counterclockwise
. This
will increase the wire insertion depth by approximately
0.20 mm [.008 in.]. Install the head onto the tool; then
terminate and inspect a sample connector.
B. For Pneumatic Assembly
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect air
supply from pneumatic power bench when
removing head from tool.
1. Increase the air pressure for the pneumatic
bench mount in increments of 69 kPa [10 psi] until
proper wire insertion depth is obtained.
DO NOT increase the air pressure beyond
483 kPa [70 psi]; otherwise, excessive wear and
strain to the tool and head could result.

2. If the proper wire insertion depth is not obtained,
set the air pressure to 276 kPa [40 psi], and follow
the procedure in Paragraph 5.1, A.
5.2. Carriage Feed
The carriage feed adjustment setscrew, shown in
Figure 6, controls the location of the carriage. If the
screw is positioned in too far, the feed pawl will not
engage in the carriage and the carriage will not
advance. If the screw is out too far, the carriage will
back up until the feed pawl engages, and thus, will
incorrectly position the contact to be terminated.
Adjust the carriage by turning the adjustment screw
either in or out until the contact aligns with the wire
inserter.
