1. INTRODUCTION
Hydraulic Hand Tool 59973-1 is designed for crimping terminals and splices in wire size ranges
6 mm²-100 mm² [8 through 4/0 AWG]. Read these instructions thoroughly before crimping any terminals or
splices.
NOTE
Dimensions in this instruction sheet are in metric units [with U.S. customary units in brackets]. Figures and illustrations are for
identification only and are not drawn to scale.
Reasons for reissue of this instruction sheet are provided in Section 7, REVISION SUMMARY.
2. DESCRIPTION (Figure 1)
The hand tool has a stationary lever and a moveable lever. These levers are compressed to pump hydraulic
fluid behind the ram, moving it forward and thereby closing the dies. After the crimping is complete, the
moveable lever is turned to depress the plunger. The moving die retracts to its original position, completing the
crimping cycle.
NOTE
The tool may be bench mounted by sliding it into Bench Mount 312324-1 (purchased separately) and securing it tightly with
the mount setscrew. The mount has four holes for securing it to a bench. See Figure 1, inset.
3. DIE INSERTION AND REMOVAL
1. Strip wires to dimensions specified on instruction sheet packaged with dies.
2. Insert terminal or splice in stationary die according to instruction sheet packaged with dies.
