2. DIE INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL
1. Position the stationary die in the stationary die holder and the moving die in the moving die holder of
the tool. Turn each die holding screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screws.
2. Position a terminal and wire in the dies as described in steps 1 through 3 of Section 3, then close the
tool handles until the dies bottom.
3. Tighten both the die holding screws while dies are bottomed.
NOTE
Check die alignment and tighten the die holding screws at least twice daily.
4. Continue to close the tool handles until the ratchet control releases. Allow the handles to open, then
remove the terminal.
5. To remove the dies, loosen the die holding screws.
3. CRIMPING
1. Strip the wire to the dimension provided in Figure 2.
2. Place the terminal in the stationary die as shown in Figure 3, then close the tool handles until the
terminal is held firmly in place.
NOTE
These dies will not accommodate a terminal having a tongue width exceeding 11.91 mm [.469 in.].
3. Insert the stripped wire into the terminal insulation barrel until the wire butts against the locator.
