2. Grasp the applicator assembly handle and hold
the applicator assembly over the connector--
holding fixture so that the guides align with the
ends of the fixture as shown in Figure 3.
CAUTION
!
The applicator assembly insertion depth is factory
preset and should not require adjusting; however,
number of conductors, air pressure, wire size,
and wire insulation diameter can affect insertion
depth measurements. Always verify the insertion
depth setting using a test sample before making
any adjustments.
1. Insert a small--diameter punch into the insertion
depth adjustment slot (refer to Figure 1), and rotate
the wheel clockwise to decrease the insertion
depth setting; counterclockwise to increase the
insertion depth.
NOTE
i
Each click of the wheel adjusts the insertion
depth setting by 0.10 mm [.004 in.].

CAUTION
!
Do not use this tool as a blunt object, a crushing
device, or for any purpose other than crimping
the proper specified product. Inappropriate use of
the tool could result in personal injury or damage
to the tool.
3. Gently push the applicator assembly onto the
fixture until the safety latches engage the fixture
and the insertion tooling sits flat on the connector.
4. Depress the trigger to actuate the applicator
assembly.
5. Remove the terminated connector from the
fixture, and inspect the connector according to
Application Specification 114--1019 (MTA .100) or
114--1020 (MTA .156).
5. INSERTION- DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, DISCONNECT
applicator assembly from air supply before
making any adjustments.
If, after inspection, the wire insertion depth
measurement is not in accordance, adjust the
applicator assembly according to the following.
2. When the applicator assembly is actuated, the
safety latches should slightly touch the guides. If
they do not, turn each safety latch adjustment
screw (located on the lower side of the latch)
clockwise in small increments until latches move
properly.
6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Each applicator assembly is assembled and
inspected before shipment. It is recommended that
the applicator assembly be inspected immediately
upon arrival in your plant to ensure that it has not
been damaged during shipment.
6.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator be made aware
of, and responsible for, the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush or clean lint--free cloth. Do
NOT use objects that could damage the applicator
assembly or any of its components.
2. Ensure that the screws are in place and
secured.
3. When the applicator assembly is not in use,
store it in a clean, dry area.
6.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the applicator assembly or be
supplied to personnel responsible for the applicator
assembly. The inspection frequency should be based
on the amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and established company
standards. At a minimum, the tool should be
inspected on a weekly basis.
