MCT-8200 Hand Crimp Tool
5. When crimping butt splices, insert the wire into the butt
splice. Position the splice and the wire in proper nest
with conductor crimp on the conductor barrel of the
2^ND WIRE
splice. The splice should be approximately centered
inside the tooling nests. See Figure 3. Cycle the tool.
6. When crimping parallel splices, Insert the 1^st wire into
one end of splice then insert the 2^nd wire into the
PARALLEL
opposite end of the parallel splice. This procedure will
SPLICE
crimp both wires at the same time. Make sure the wires
are fully seated into the parallel splice. Position the
splice and the wires in proper nest with conductor crimp
Figure 4
on the conductor barrel of the splice. The splice should
be approximately centered inside the tooling nests. See Figure 4. Cycle the tool.

Note: Whenever crimping without the locator, make sure the seam of the terminal is oriented up or down in
the tool if using unbrazed product, as this will provide higher pull force values.
Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware of, and responsible for, the following
maintenance steps:
1. Remove dust, moisture and other contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint-free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. This hand tool was engineered for durability, but like any fine piece of equipment,
it needs cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. A light oil, such as 30
weight automotive oil used at the oil points shown in Figure 6, every 5,000 crimps or 3 months will
significantly enhance the tool life and ensure a stable calibration.
4. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping
dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
