2. Insert a die retention screw through the jaw and
die and tighten the screw so that the die is held in
place, but do not tighten the screw completely at
this point.
Die assemblies with center contact crimp
sections should be installed with the center
contact crimp section toward the front of the tool
jaws as shown in Figure 2. If indicated otherwise
in other instructions, follow the specific die
requirements demonstrated in that document.
3. Place the lower die in the moving jaw of the tool
frame. Install a die retention screw through the jaw
and die and tighten the screw so that the die is
held in place, but do not tighten the screw
completely at this point.
The SDE PEW 12 tool ratchet has detents that
are audible as six “clicks” as the handles are
closed. The ratchet releases on the sixth“click.”
4. Slowly close the tool handles, allowing the dies
to mate and/or align. Continue closing the tool
handles until the ratchet makes the fifth “click,”
then tighten both die retention screws until snug.
3.2. Installation of Pinned Dies
(Figure 3)
1. Install the wire and insulation anvil dies with the
chamfers facing the front of the tool and the die
markings facing outward into the movable jaw of
the frame assembly.
2. Insert the die retaining pins and the short die
retention screw. Do
not tighten the screw
completely.
3. Install the wire and insulation crimper dies, with
the chamfers facing the front of the tool, and with
the die markings facing outward into the stationary
jaw of the frame assembly.
4. Insert the die retaining pins and the long die
retention screw. Do
not tighten the screw
completely.
5. Slowly close the tool handles allowing the dies
to mate and/or align. Continue closing the tool
handles until the ratchet makes the fifth “click,”
then tighten both die retention screws until snug.

following steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the tool with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT use hard or
abrasive objects that could damage the tool.
2. Make certain that the pivot pins are in place and
that they are secured with retaining rings.
