3. Push down the wire stop blade. Make sure the wire stop blade is

fully seated on the terminal behind the conductor grip section.
4. Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal; make sure to aim the wire end towards the tip point on the wire
stop blade. See Figure 1. Align the wire so that it is parallel to, and sitting into the terminal. Maintain a light
and constant pressure on the wire that is seated in the terminal at all times. (Do not let go of the wire.) Be sure
to hold the wire and terminal in place until the terminal is fully crimped. See Figure 2.
CAUTION: Pushing the wire against the Wire Stop Blade with too much force can cause wire strands to
bend up and above the top of the conductor crimp. If this occurs, depress strands below the top of the
conductor crimp to prevent matte seal damage.
5. Close the tool until the ratchet releases.
6. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.
Note: To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be
followed.
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.
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.
