insulated wire having an insulation
diameter range of 0.91 -- 3.50 mm [.036 --.138 in.].

REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION
The tool features three crimping areas, tool handles,
and a CERTI--CRIMP* Hand Crimping Tool Ratchet
Control. Tool dies and spare wire cap rings are color
coded for a given wire insulation diameter range.
Crimp the color coded ring (“B”) in the matching color
coded dies. See Figures 1 and 2. Example: If
insulation diameter of wire is within a range of 1.422
to 1.63 mm [.056 --.064 in.], use ring “A.”
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
To apply the wire cap, proceed as follows:
1. Open crimping dies by closing handles until
CERTI--CRIMP ratchet releases. Note that, once
ratchet is engaged, handles cannot be opened until
they are first fully closed.
2. Place cap in matching color coded dies (ring “B”
on cap must match die color code). Be sure cap is
fully bottomed in tool and rings are centered in
crimping dies. See Figure 3.

and remove the crimped cap.
6. Refer to Section 4 and Figure 3 for spare wire
cap crimp inspection procedure.
7. “REJECT” spare wire caps can be avoided
through careful use of instructions in Section 2
,
and by performing regular tool maintenance as
instructed in Section 5.
