Terminal Strip Unloading
1. Cut the terminal strip one or two terminals from the end of the applicator.
NOTE
The applicator should never be unloaded unnecessarily. A section of terminal strip should always be left in the unit. Since it is
not necessary to remove the strip section for cleaning, lubrication, or repair, it should only be removed as a part of the loading
procedure.

(smallest crimp height) in increments of .01 mm [.0004 in.].
2. Select a crimp height reference setting number from 0 (largest crimp height) to 14.5 (smallest crimp
height) from the applicator print for the wire size to be used.
3. Turn the Wire Crimp Disc to line up with the specified crimp height reference setting number with the
