2. Remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws.
3. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil in the moving jaw of the tool frame as shown in Figure 2.
4. Insert two die retaining pins into the moving jaw.
5. Insert the short die retaining screw through the jaw and through the anvils, and thread the screw just
enough to hold the anvils in place. Do not tighten the screw at this time.
6. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper in the stationary jaw of the tool frame as shown in
Figure 2.
7. Insert two die retaining pins into the stationary jaw.
8. Insert the long die retaining screw through the jaw and through the crimpers, and thread the screw just
enough to hold the crimpers in place. Do not tighten the screw at this time.
9. 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.
10. Place the locator assembly over the end of the long die retaining screw, and position the locator
assembly against the side of the tool jaw.
11. Place the nut onto the end of the screw, and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly in
place, while still allowing the locator to slide up and down.
12. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator assembly,
die retaining screws, and die retaining pins, then slide the anvils and crimpers out of the tool jaws.
4. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT
NOTE
The contact support is preset prior to shipment, but minor adjustment may be necessary.
1. Crimp a sample according to Section 5 and determine if the contact is straight, bending upward, or
bending downward. If adjustment is required (contact is bent), loosen the screw that holds the contact
support onto the locator assembly. Refer to Figure 3.
2. Place a contact with wire into the proper nest of the tool, and close the tool handles until the ratchet
reaches the sixth click or until the contact support touches the contact.
NOTE
The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks as the tool handles are closed.
