PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and
low volume applications. A wide selection of powered application equipment for extended-use, production operations is available.

TERMASHIELD ferrules on single and multiple
conductor shielded wires with a primary conductor
insulation range of .033" to .270",
Basic instructions on the use of these tools, dies, die
insertion and removal, etc., are provided in Section 2,
'For further instructions relative to the pneumatic tool
and hand tool, refer to the instructions packaged with
these tools.
Section 3 contains a “Maintenance and Inspection
Procedure” which will enable you to establish and
maintain a die certification program.
These instructions may be used for dies not listed in
Figure 1 but accompanied by this 408 series
document. For unlisted dies, strip wire and crimp in
the same manner as for identical size dies.
2. INSTRUCTIONS
2.1. Selection Data for Dies, Ferrules, and Insulating
Caps
A. Single Conductor Shielded Wire
To determine which dies, ferrule and insulating cap to
use with single conductor shielded wire, refer to -
Figure 1.
NOTE
i
The package numbers shown in Figure 1 are sup-
plied with equal quantities of ferrules and insulating
caps, but include only zinc plated ferrules.
1. Determine the outside (insulation) diameter of
the primary conductor.
2. Locate this dimension in the appropriate
primary conductor insulation range in column 2
of Figure 1. Opposite the insulation range you will
find the catalog numbers of the crimping die.
ferrule and insulating cap to use.
NOTE
Crimping dies, ferrules and insulating caps are
color coded. For example: Use dies color coded
i
green to crimp a green fermle. Place a green insu-
lating cap on the green ferrule after ferrule is
crimped.
B. Multiple Conductor Shielded Wire
To determine which dies, ferrule and insulating cap to
use with shielded wire having two or more conductors,
use the following formula: Multiply the outside
(insulation) diameter of one primary conductor by the
“factor”, see Figure 2, listed opposite the total number
of conductors in the wire. For example:
1. If you had a 3-conductor shielded wire, you
would first find the outside (insulation) diameter
of one conductor. In this case, we will use an
outer diameter of .082 inches.
2. Opposite the number “3” (the number of
primary conductors in the wire) in column one of
Figure 2, you will find a multiplying factor of 2.17.
3. Multiply the outer diameter of the one
conductor (.082 inches) by this factor (2.17). The
result is.177. This figure (.177) is the primary
conductor insulation range of the three-conductor
shielded wire.
4. Next, refer to column 2 of Figure 1. Opposite
the insulation range of.145 to .184, you will find
the numbers of the crimping die, ferrule and
insulating cap to use.
2.2. Die Insertion Hand Tool No 59500
Dies are coated with oil to prevent rust and corrosion.
Wipe this oil from dies, particularly from crimping area.
1. (To open tool handles, close handles until
CERTI-CRIMP* tool ratchet releases. See Figure
3. Note that once ratchet is engaged, handles
cannot be opened until they are fully closed.
