6. Holding the terminal in place, close the yoke and insert the latch pin.
CAUTION
Be sure latch pin is fully inserted, otherwise damage to the die and tool or head will occur when the tool or power unit is
activated.
7. Holding wire in place, activate tool or power unit to complete crimp.
8. When crimp is completed, remove the latch pin, open the yoke, and remove the terminal.
NOTE
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, apply a rocking action to the terminal to remove it from the die. Wipe light oil on the dies
to prevent sticking, or use spray dry lubricant.
9. Inspect the crimp according to Section 5.
4.2. Crimping Splices without Step-Down Adapter
DANGER
Avoid personal injury. When operating tool or power unit, exercise caution while holding splice or wire near the crimping area.
1. Strip wires to the dimensions listed in Figure 3.
Do not nick or cut the wire strands.
2. Select the proper color-coded splice for the wire size. The wire size stamped on the splice and on
the crimping die must match the wire size selected.
3. Insert the 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.
4. Remove crimping head latch pin and open yoke.
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 a 30° (approximate) 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 5.
