3. Insert stripped wire into the wire barrel of the
end of the splice to be crimped until the wire
bottoms against the wire stop within the splice.
Refer to Figure 2.
4. Pivot the latch arm away from the yoke to open
the head.
5. Place the splice in the stationary die. Grasp the
end of the splice to be crimped and point the
opposite end toward the top of the head yoke at
approximately a 30_ angle. Rotate the end of the
splice to be crimped into the die. Position the edge
of the window indent against the locator. Refer to
Figure 4.
4.4. Crimping PLASTI- GRIP Butt Splices
DANGER
Avoid personal injury. When operating the tool,
exercise caution while holding butt splices or wire
near the crimping area.
1. Strip wires to the dimensions listed in Figure 2.
Do not nick or cut the wire strands.
2. Select the proper color--coded butt splice for the
wire size. The wire size stamped on the butt splice
and on the crimping die must match the wire size
selected.
3. Pivot the latch arm away from the yoke to open
the head. Remove the stationary die from the
yoke, then remove the locator from the stationary
die. Re--assemble the stationary die onto the yoke.
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the dies, be sure that the
stationary die is properly oriented with the
moving die.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel of the
end of the butt splice to be crimped until the wire
bottoms against the wire stop within the splice.
5. Place the butt splice in the stationary die with
the wire barrel of the end of the splice to be
crimped centered over the crimping chamber. See
Figure 6.
6. Holding the butt splice in place, pivot the yoke
and latch arm toward each other until the locking
flange secures the latch arm to the yoke.
CAUTION
Always make sure the yoke and latching arm are
secured by the locking flange before cycling the
tool.
6. Holding the splice in place, pivot the yoke and
latch arm toward each other until the locking flange
secures the latch arm to the yoke.
CAUTION
Always make sure the yoke and latching arm are
secured by the locking flange before cycling the
tool.

7. Holding the wire in place, active the tool to
complete the first wire barrel crimp.
8. When crimp is complete, pivot the latch arm
away from the yoke to open the head and remove
the splice.
NOTE
If splice sticks in die after crimping, apply a
rocking action to the splice to remove it from the
die. Wipe light oil on dies to reduce sticking, or
use spray dry lubricant.
9. To crimp the other half of splice, reposition
uncrimped end of splice in the stationary die and
follow the same procedure used to crimp the first
half of splice.
10. Inspect the crimp according to Section 5.
