2.5. Crimping Procedure
DANGER
Avoid personal injury. When operating air tool,
exercise caution while holding terminals, splices,
or wire near crimping area.
A. Terminals
1. Ensure that the wire range stamped on the
terminal corresponds with the wire range stamped
on the crimping head link.
2. Position terminal wire barrel between locators of ^B
lower jaw as shown in Figure 4A.
3. Insert wire into terminal wire barrel until end of
wire is flush with or extended slightly beyond end
of wire barrel. Hold terminal in place, squeeze
trigger to complete crimp.
4. Release trigger and remove crimped terminal.
5. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 for crimp
inspection.
B. Butt Splices
NOTE
Ensure that wire range stamped on splice
corresponds with the wire range stamped on the
C

crimping head link.

1. Position butt splice in lower jaw so that end of
splice butts against locator and window in splice
faces upper jaw. See Figure 4B.
2. Insert wire into splice until it bottoms against
splice wire stop. Hold splice in place, squeeze
trigger to complete crimp.
3. Release trigger and remove crimped splice.
4. To crimp other half of butt splice, remove it and
reposition uncrimped half in crimping jaws and
follow same procedure used to crimp first half of
splice. If splice cannot be turned, turn tool around.
NOTE
i
Butt splices may be slightly bent when crimped
as instructed in Step 2.5.B.4. If this bending is
objectionable, use the following crimping
procedure.
5. To crimp other half of butt splice, remove and
rotate splice 180° end over end. Reposition
uncrimped half in lower jaw as described in Step
2.5.B.1. If splice cannot be rotated, rotate tool,
insert wire, and then crimp the splice.
