2. Place the wire anvil so that the chamfered side
and the marked surfaces face outward, when
mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and through the anvil die, and tighten the screw
just enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten
the screw completely at this time.
4. Place the wire crimper so that the chamfered side
and the marked surface face outward, when
mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
5. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through the crimper die, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
6. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure that
the anvil and crimper align properly. Continue
closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool
frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvil and
crimper in place, then tighten both die retaining
screws.
7. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
long screw, and position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
8. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw and
tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly
in place, while still allowing the locator to slide up
and down.
9. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the
ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and slide
the anvil and crimper out of the tool jaws.
NOTE
i
The ratchet has detents with audible “clicks” as the
handles are closed. The ratchet releases on the
sixth “click”.
4. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT (Figure 2)
NOTE
i
The contact support is preset prior to shipment, but
minor adjustment may be necessary.
1. Make a sample crimp and determine if the
contact is straight, bending upward, or bending
downward.
2. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw that
holds the contact support onto the locator assembly.
NOTE
i
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks
as the tool handles are closed.
3. Place a contact with wire into the proper nest and
close the tool handles until the ratchet reaches the
sixth click, or until the contact support touches the
contact.
4. Slightly loosen the nut that holds the locator
assembly onto the tool frame.
5. Move the contact support as required to eliminate
the bending of the contact.
6. Tighten the nut and close the handles until the
ratchet releases.
7. Remove and inspect the contact.
8. Make another sample crimp. If the contact is
straight, tighten the contact support screw. If the
contact is still being bent during crimping, repeat the
adjustment procedure.
