require adjustment to achieve acceptable crimp
height.
6. DAMAGED CONTACTS AND FERRULES

Damaged contacts or ferrules may not be used. If
a center contact or ferrule is damaged during the

5.3. Ratchet Adjustment
The tool frame assembly ratchet mechanism features
an adjustment wheel with nine settings. The
adjustment wheel controls the amount of handle
pressure exerted on the tool jaws and crimping dies
during crimping. If the crimp is not acceptable, adjust
the ratchet as follows:
1. Remove the screw at the ratchet adjustment
wheel so that the wheel can be rotated.
2. If the crimp is too loose, turn the wheel to a
higher notch. If the crimp is too tight, move the
wheel to a lower notch.
3. Replace and tighten the screw at the ratchet
adjustment wheel.
