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 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.
4. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT (Figure 3)
NOTE
The contact support is preset prior to shipment, but
minor adjustment may be necessary.
i
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.
