3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET (Figure 2)
9. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the two die retaining
screws and the four die retaining pins, and slide
the anvils and crimpers out of the tool jaws.
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that
their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces
face outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of
the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins.
4. Insert a die retaining screw through the jaw
and through both anvil dies, and tighten the screw
just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
5.Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so
that their chamfered sides and their marked
surfaces face outward, when mounted in the
stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins.
7. Insert a die retaining screw through the jaw
and through both crimper dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvils and crimpers align properly.
Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet
in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold
the anvils and crimpers in place, then tighten both
die retaining screws.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
i
This tool is provided with a crimp adjustment
feature. Initially, the crimp height should be
verified as specified in Figure 4. Refer to
Section 5, CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION, and
Section 6, RATCHET (Crimp Height)
ADJUSTMENT, to verify crimp height before
using the tool to crimp desired terminals and wire
sizes.
Refer to the table in Figure 1 and select wire of the
specified size and insulation diameter. Strip the wire
to the length indicated in Figure 1, taking care not to
nick or cut wire strands. Select an applicable terminal
and identify the appropriate crimp section according
to the wire size markings on the tool. Refer to
Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is
facing you. Squeeze tool handles together and
allow them to open fully.
2. Holding the terminal by the mating end, insert
the terminal — insulation barrel first — through the
front of the tool and into the appropriate crimp
section.
3. Position the terminal so that the mating end of
the terminal is on the front side of the tool, and so
that the open “U” of the wire and insulation barrels
face the top of the tool. Place the terminal up into
the nest.
