6. Hold wire in place and close the tool handles FULLY to crimp the terminal or splice. Allow tool handles
to open FULLY. Remove the crimped terminal or splice from the crimping jaws.
7. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the uncrimped sleeve in the crimping jaws as
described in Step 3. Follow Steps 4 through 6 to complete the crimp.
NOTE
If the splice cannot be turned around to position the uncrimped sleeve in the crimping jaws, turn the tool around.
8. Inspect the crimp. Refer to Figure 6 for a properly crimped terminal and splice. Check the insulation
grip on the crimped terminal or splice. Refer to Section4, INSULATION CRIMPING ADJUSTMENT.
The hashmark code on the bottom of the wire barrel sleeve created by the tool should match the hashmark code referenced
with the appropriate tool. See Figure 6.

4. INSULATION CRIMPING ADJUSTMENT
The hand tool has three insulation crimping adjustment positions to adjust the wire insulation grip: 1-Tight, 2-
Medium, and 3-Loose. To obtain the desired insulation grip, proceed as follows:
1. Insert insulation crimping adjustment pins into Position 3 as shown in Figure 1.
2. Position terminal or splice in crimping jaws as described in Section 3, Step 3.
3. Insert an UNSTRIPPED wire into only the insulation barrel sleeve of the terminal or splice.
