3. Engage the holding device on the power unit so
that the ram stays in position.
4. Loosen the ram setscrew.
5. Align the lower die with the upper die as shown
in Figure 2. Insert the shank on the lower die
partially into the ram well, making sure the shank is
facing the setscrew. Do NOT allow the dies to
become disengaged.
6. Activate the power unit and advance the ram
just enough to move the lower die to its topmost
position before completing a cycle.
7. Engage the holding device. Tighten both
setscrews.
NOTE
i
Ensure that the dies are properly aligned to each
other and are firmly seated in the crimping head.
8. Activate power unit and allow the ram to return
to the ‘‘DOWN” position.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury or damage to the tool,
check setscrews occasionally to ensure that they
are fully tightened when tool is in use.
3.2. Removal
Loosen setscrew in top of crimping head and remove
upper die. Raise the ram until the ram setscrew is
visible. Loosen ram setscrew and remove lower die.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. Assemble the insulating sleeve over the crimped
wire barrel of the terminal or splice as shown in
Figure 3. Make sure the bushing butts against, but
does not slide over, the crimped cartridge.
2. Check that the insulating sleeve extends
approximately 0.80 mm [.031 in.] from the ring and
that the bushing extends approximately 0.80 mm
[.031 in.] from the insulating sleeve. Refer to
Figure 3.
NOTE
i
If terminal or splice does not contain a cartridge,
the bushing must butt against the wire barrel. For
an insulating sleeve without a bushing, allow
insulating sleeve to extend 0.80 mm [.031 in.]
beyond the wire barrel.
3. Center the ring on the insulating sleeve in
the crimping chamber of the stationary die.
See Figure 4.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury or damage to the tool,
always keep fingers clear of dies.
4. Activate power unit to complete the crimp.
5. To crimp the other half of a splice, reposition the
uncrimped side in the crimping chamber.
6. Remove crimped terminal or splice from die and
inspect the crimp.
