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 three
crimping sections.
The die assembly features a wire anvil, an insulation
anvil, a wire crimper, and an insulation crimper.
Attached to the outside of the tool frame is a locator
assembly, which contains a locator, a spring retainer,
and a contact support. Attached to the outside of the
movable jaw is a contact guide.
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 die retaining screws to hold the
locator assembly and contact guide in place.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET,
LOCATOR ASSEMBLY, AND CONTACT GUIDE
(Figure 2)
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 long die retaining pins.
4. Insert the 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 short die retaining pins.
7. Insert the 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.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
die retaining screw in the stationary jaw, and
position the locator assembly against the side of
the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the screw and
tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly
in place, while still allowing the locator to slide up
and down.
11. Place the contact guide over the end of the die
retaining screw and the long die retaining pins, and
position the contact guide against the side of the
tool jaw.
