3. With tape release lever “up”, remove holding
screws and dies.
2.3. Wire Preparation and Crimp Instructions
1. Select the correct wire strip length from Figure 1.
Do NOT use wires with nicked or missing conductor
strands.
2. Place main power switch in the ON position and
be sure tape release lever is lowered.
3. Insert stripped wire conductor into terminal wire
barrel until it butts against the stop, see Figure 3.
4. Depress and release foot switch. The machine
will cycle and crimp the terminal.
5. Remove crimped terminal.
6. Repeat steps (3) thru (5) for each terminal to be
crimped.
7. Refer to Section 3 and Figure 4 for “Crimp
Inspection” procedure.
Use only the terminals that meet the conditions shown
in the “ACCEPT” column. “REJECT” terminals can be
avoided through careful use of instructions provided in
the machine manual and by performing regular die
maintenance as instructed in Section 4.
1 Crimp centered on wire barrel. Crimp may be slightly
off center BUT NOT OFF END OF WIRE BARREL.
2 AWG wire size being used matches wire size stamped
under terminal tongue and on dies.
3 Wire insulation does not enter wire barrel.
4
Wire conductor is flush with or extends beyond end of
terminal wire barrel.

3. CRIMP INSPECTION
Inspect crimped terminals by checking the features
described in Figure 4.
Rev A
1 Crimped off end of terminal wire barrel. Refer to
409-2586 for crimp location adjustment.
2 AWG wire size being used does not match wire size
stamped under terminal tongue or on dies.
3 Wire conductor not inserted far enough in terminal. End
of conductor must be flush with or extend beyond end
of terminal wire barrel.
4 Wire insulation entered wire barrel of terminal. CHECK
FOR INCORRECT STRIP LENGTH.
5 Excessive “flash” on crimped wire barrel indicates
wrong wire, terminal, or die combination was used or
damaged dies.
6 Nicked or missing conductor strands.

4. MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION PROCEDURE
TE Connectivity recommends that a maintenance and
inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Dies
should be inspected at least once a month. Frequency
of inspection may be adjusted to suit your
requirements through experience. Frequency of
inspection is dependent upon:
