The tool features a ratchet and an adjustment wheel
with a range of settings. The ratchet ensures that the
tool has completed the cycle and will not release until
the handles have been FULLY closed, unless the
emergency ratchet release is rotated to manually
release the ratchet. The adjustment wheel controls
the amount of handle pressure exerted on the dies
during the crimping procedure.
The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This
feature ensures maximum tensile performance of
the crimp. DO NOT re--adjust the ratchet.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET
AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY
(Figure 1)
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil so that the chamfered side
and the marked surfaces face outward, when
mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and through the anvil die, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
4. Place the wire crimper so that the chamfered
side and the marked surface face outward, when
mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
5. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through the crimper die, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
6. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvil and crimper align properly. Continue
closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool
frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvil
and crimper in place, then tighten both die retaining
screws.
7. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
long screw, and position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
8. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw and
tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly
in place, while still allowing the locator to slide up
and down.
9. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and slide
the anvil and crimper out of the tool jaws.
The ratchet has detents with audible “clicks” as
the handles are closed. The ratchet releases on
the sixth “click”.
4. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT
(Figure 2)
The contact support is preset prior to shipment,
but minor adjustment may be necessary.
1. Make a sample crimp and determine if the
contact is straight, bending upward, or bending
downward.
