5. .INSULATION CRIMP ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
i
PIDG terminals and splices feature an “insulation
grip.”
Each tool has four insulation crimp positions. See
Figure 1.
1. Loosen insulation adjustment locking screw
(see top of tool) and turn indicator to Position 4.
2. Place terminal or splice in tool dies.
3. .Insert UNSTRIPPED wire into ONLY the
insulation barrel of terminal or splice.
4. Perform a crimp. Remove crimped terminal or
splice and check insulation grip as follows: Bend
the wire back and forth once. Terminal or splice
should retain grip on wire insulation.

5. If the wire pulls out, set the insulation
adjustment indicator to next tighter position -
Position 3.
6. Perform a crimp and repeat adjustment as
necessary until desired insulation grip is
obtained. Do not use a tighter setting than
required.
6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Although the dies are inspected at the factory prior to
their shipment, it is recommended that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed at your facility
periodically. This is necessary to assure that continued
use of the dies will result in the same dependability
and uniform terminations for which the dies were
designed.
We recommend an initial frequency of once a month,
however frequency may be adjusted to suit your
requirements through experience. Frequency should
be dependant on:
• Care, amount of handling, and use of the dies;
• Type and size of the product being crimped;
• Degree of operator skill;
• Presence of abnormal amounts of dirt and dust;
and
• Your own established standards.
6.1. Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other
contaminants with a clean, soft brush, or a clean,
soft, lint-free cloth. Do NOT use any objects that
could damage the dies or tool.
2. Make sure that the proper die-retaining screws
are properly secured.
3. When the dies are not in use, store them in a
clean, dry area.
4. Store the tool with the tool handles closed to
prevent objects from becoming lodged within the
jaws.
6.2. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
from the dies by immersing the dies in a suitable
commercial degreaser.
2. Make certain that all die-retaining screws and
die components are properly secured.
3. Inspect the crimping surfaces for flattened,
chipped, worn, or cracked areas. If damage is
evident, the dies must be replaced. Refer to
Section 7, REPLACEMENT.
