1. INTRODUCTION
This instruction sheet provides information on product
application and a maintenance and inspection
procedure for the crimping dies listed in Figure 1. The
dies are used in Hydraulic Crimping Head 1490746–1
and Hydraulic Hand Tool 1490749–1. For detailed
information on the crimping head and hand tool, refer
to the instructions packaged with these tools.
2. DIE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL (Figure 2)
CAUTION
Do not operate tool without dies.
!
DANGER
Avoid personal injury. Always keep fingers clear
of dies when activating power unit.
These dies are designed to crimp AMPLI–BOND and
PLASTI–GRIP terminals on wire sizes 8 to 2 AWG,
and Pre–Insulated AMPOWER terminals on wire size
2 AWG. Dies are coated with a preservative to
prevent rust and corrosion. Wipe preservative from
dies, particularly from crimping areas.

All dimensions in this document are in millimeters
[with inches in brackets]. Illustrations and figures
are for reference only and are not drawn to scale.
2.1. Die Insertion
1. Refer to the chart in Figure 1 and verify that you
have the proper die set for the terminal and wire
size being used.
2. Before inserting dies in head, loosen socket
head cap screws holding insulation crimping
section of dies in place. See Figure 1. If screws are
not loosened, dies may not fit into head of tool
because of close tolerance.
