6. Loosen set screw in ram and insert moving die
into ram well as shown in Figure 2. Tighten set
screw.
Moving die must be properly oriented to mate
with stationary die.
7. Activate power unit to allow ram to return to the
“
down” position.
2.2. Die Removal
1. Remove latch pin and open yoke.
2. Loosen set screw in yoke and remove stationary
die.
3. Raise ram to “
full up” position. Loosen set screw
and remove moving die.
3. OPERATION
3.1. Wire Stripping and Crimping Procedure
Avoid personal injury. When operating power unit,
exercise caution while holding terminals or wire
near crimping area. Never place anything in the
dies except terminals.
1. Strip wire to dimensions listed in Figure 3. Do
NOT nick or cut conductor strands.
2. Insert stripped wire in terminal. End of wire must
be flush with or extend beyond edge of terminal
wire barrel.

3. With yoke open, place terminal on dies. See
Figure 4.
4. Bottom of terminal tongue should face stationary
die and terminal wire barrel should rest against
stop plate as shown in Figure 4.
5. Close yoke and insert latch pin.
Ensure that latch pin is fully inserted or damage
may occur to yoke, dies, or latch pin.
6. Hold terminal in place and activate power unit to
complete crimp. Open yoke and remove crimped
terminal.
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, apply a
rocking action to remove it from die.
3.2. Insulation Crimp Adjustment
This adjustment is made to both stationary and
moving dies after they have been placed in crimping
head.
1. The dies have three insulation crimp positions.
The adjustment is made by moving a pin–key (see
Figure 5). When the pin–key is pushed all the way
in, the insulation crimping section of the die is in
the loose position; when the pin–key is halfway
out, the insulation crimping section of the die is in
the medium position; when the pin–key is all the
way out, the insulation crimping section of the die
is in the tight position.
