The die assembly features a wire anvil, an insulation anvil, a wire crimper, and an insulation crimper.
Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator assembly, which contains a locator, a spring retainer, and a
contact support.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A nut is
used on the upper die retaining screw to hold the locator assembly in place.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY (Figure 2)
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces face
outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the screw
just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.
5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so that their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces
face outward, when mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure that the anvils and crimpers align properly. Continue
closing the tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvils
and crimpers in place, then tighten both die retaining screws.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the long screw, and position the locator assembly against
the side of the tool jaw.
10. 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.
11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and the four die retaining pins, and slide the anvils and
crimpers out of the tool jaws.
