DANGER
Avoid personal injury. When operating air tool,
exercise caution when holding terminals, splices,
or wire near crimping area.
A. Terminals
Ensure that the wire size stamped on the terminal
corresponds with the wire size stamped on the
crimping head link.
1. Position terminal wire barrel between locators of
lower jaw as shown in Figure 4A. Back of terminal
tongue must face upper jaw.
2. 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, press thumb
control and hold it down until crimping stroke is
completed.
3. Release thumb control and remove crimped
terminal.
4. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 5 for crimp
inspection.
B. Butt Splices
Ensure that wire size stamped on the splice
corresponds with the wire size stamped on the
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 place until it butts against splice
wire stop. Hold splice in place, press thumb control
and hold it down until crimping stroke is completed.
3. Release thumb control 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.
