The insulation crimping section of the crimping head
has three positions: 1—Tight; 2—Medium; and
3—Loose.
1. Insert insulation adjustment pins in Position 3.
See Figure 5.

2. Place terminal or splice in crimping jaws, as
shown in Figures 3 and 4.
3. Insert unstripped wire only into the
insulation barrel of the terminal or splice. See
Figures 3 and 4.
4. Crimp terminal or splice as described in
Paragraph 4.1 or 4.2.
5. Remove terminal or splice. Bend wire forward
and then backward. The terminal or splice should
retain its grip on the wire. If the wire pulls out,
reposition the insulation adjustment pins in the next
tighter position and repeat crimping procedure.
6. Repeat adjustment as necessary until desired
insulation grip is obtained. DO NOT use a tighter
setting than required.
