Attached to the outside of the tool frame is a locator
assembly, which includes a locknut and moveable
locator. An additional contact support is secured to the
locator assembly by a screw. A nut is used on a die
retaining screw to hold the locator assembly in place.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY
AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases,
then allow the handles to open fully. Remove the
two die retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil with the
chamfered edges and marked surfaces facing
outward in the moving jaw of the tool frame as
shown in Figure 2, and align the retaining holes in
each die with the associated hole in the tool.
3. Insert two die retaining pins into the holes in the
tool and through the holes in the anvils.
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 with
the chamfered edges and marked surfaces facing
outward in the stationary jaw of the tool frame as
shown in Figure 2, and align the retaining holes in
each die with the associated hole in the tool.
6. Insert two die retaining pins into the holes in the
tool and through the holes in the crimpers.
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 has
engaged sufficiently to hold the anvils and crimpers
in place, then tighten both die retaining screws.
9. Place the locator assembly and the additional
contact support over the end of the long screw, and
position the locator assembly against the side of the
tool jaw. Refer to Figure 2.
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.
4. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
NOTE
i
The contact support is preset prior to shipment, but
minor adjustment may be necessary as described
in Paragraph 5.1, Contact Support Adjustment.
Also, this tool is provided with a crimp adjustment
feature. Refer to Paragraph 5.2, Ratchet
Adjustment. Initially, the crimp height should be
verified as specified in Section 6, CRIMP HEIGHT
INSPECTION, before using the tool.
Refer to Figure 1, and select wire of the specified size
and insulation diameter. Strip the wire to the length
indicated, taking care not to nick or cut the wire
strands. Identify the appropriate crimping chamber
according the wire size markings on the die assembly.
Then proceed with the following.
