PIDG and PLASTI- GRIP Terminal and Splice Crimping Heads
408- 10029
1. Remove quick pins from the adapter assembly.
Refer to Figure 1.
2. Insert crimping head into the adapter assembly.
3. After the crimping head is properly aligned,
insert the quick pins through the two holes in the
adapter and through the holes in the crimp head.
NOTE
i
The quick pins will “snap” into position when they
are properly inserted.
3.3. Removal
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the
battery from the tool before removing crimping
head.
Remove the quick pins from the crimping head; then
remove the crimping head from the tool holder.

4.1. Terminal Crimping Procedure
4.2. Butt Splice Crimping Procedure
1. Strip wire to dimensions shown in Figure 2. DO
NOT nick wire strand or use wires with nicked or
missing conductor strands.
1. Strip wire to dimensions shown in Figure 2. DO
NOT nick wire strand or use wires with nicked or
missing conductor strands.
2. Center the terminal or splice wire barrel in the
appropriate crimp chamber. See Figure 3.
3. Depress the trigger to advance the moving ram.
This closes the crimp jaws in order to hold the
terminal in place. DO NOT deform the wire barrel.
4. Insert stripped wire into terminal until the end of
the conductor butts against the locator as shown in
Figure 3.
5. Activate the tool to complete the crimp. The
crimp tool automatically returns to the first position
of the cycle when the crimp is complete.
6. Refer to Section 5 and Figure 6 for crimp
inspection.
2. Position splice between crimping jaws so that
the window indent slides under the locator of crimp
head. See Figure 4A.
3. Depress the trigger to advance the moving ram.
This closes the crimp jaws to hold the terminal in
place. DO NOT deform the wire barrel.
4. Insert stripped wire into wire barrel of splice until
the end of the conductor is against the splice wire
stop. See Figure 4A.
5. Activate tool to complete the crimp.
6. To crimp the other half of the butt splice,
reposition it in the crimping jaws and repeat Steps
1 through 5. If the splice cannot be turned, rotate
crimping head. See Figure 4B.
