2. DESCRIPTION (Figures 1 and 2)
The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw
and handle, a moving jaw, a moving handle, and an
adjustable ratchet that ensures full contact crimping.
The tool frame holds a die assembly with two
crimping sections.
The die assembly features an insulation anvil and an
insulation crimper.
Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator
assembly, which contains a locator, a spring retainer,
and a shield support.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used
to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A
nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold
the locator assembly in place.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND
LOCATOR ASSEMBLY (Figure 2)
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the insulation anvil so that the chamfered
side faces outward, when mounted in the moving
jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and anvil, and tighten the screw just enough to
hold the anvil in place. Do not tighten the screw
completely at this time.
5. Place the insulation crimper so that the
chamfered side faces outward, when mounted in
the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through the crimper die, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvil and crimper align properly. Continue
closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool
frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvil
and crimper in place, then tighten both die retaining
screws.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
long screw, and position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw
and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator
assembly in place, while still allowing the locator to
slide up and down.
11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and the
four die retaining pins, and slide the anvil and
crimper out of the tool jaws.
4. SHIELD SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT (Figure 3)
NOTE
i
The shield support is preset prior to shipment, but
minor adjustment may be necessary.
1. Make a sample crimp and determine if the
shield is straight, bending upward, or bending
downward.
