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 AND REPAIR.
6.3. Measuring Die Opening
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
(1) the product specified is correct for the application,
(2) the specific die assembly is used, (3) the die
assembly has been measured to ensure that the
openings are correct, and (4) the tool has been
adjusted correctly. Figure 5 provides dimensions of
the die openings.

2. With a screwdriver, adjust the ratchet wheel
from the opposite side of the tool.
3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel.
If a tighter retention is required, rotate the
adjustment wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a
higher--numbered setting. If a looser retention is
allowed, rotate the adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE
to a lower--numbered setting.
4. Re--install the lockscrew.
5. Make a sample crimp and measure the retention
force with a pull force tester. If the retention force
is acceptable, secure the lockscrew. If the retention
force is unacceptable, remove lockscrew and
continue to adjust the ratchet, and again measure
a sample crimp.
