6. OPERATION
The following procedure provides only general
information concerning crimping. Refer to the
instructions packaged with the terminating heads for
detailed information including wire stripping
dimensions and instructions for positioning terminals
in the terminating heads.
1. Insert the connector into the left side of the head.
2. Align the contact to be terminated with the wire
inserter of the head. Make sure that the locating
pawl rests between the connector index ribs.
3. Insert an unstripped wire into the funnel area
between the contact and the wire inserter until it
bottoms on the tool base.
4. Depress the trigger of the handle assembly and
hold it until the wire inserter bottoms.
5. Release the trigger. The wire inserter will retract
and the feed slide will automatically advance the
connector to the next contact position.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 until all contacts have
been terminated.
7. Inspect each termination.
7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the
handle assembly from the air supply when
STOP performing maintenance or inspection procedures.
It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a
month, frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
handle assembly.
2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. Your own established standards.
The handle assembly is inspected before being
shipped; however, it is recommended that the handle
assembly be inspected immediately upon arrival to
ensure that the handle assembly has not been
damaged during shipment.
7.1. Daily Maintenance
Each operator should be aware of, and responsible
for, the following:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or soft, lint-free cloth. DO NOT
use objects that could damage the handle
assembly.
2. Ensure that all components are in place and
properly secured.
3. With the terminating head in place, connect the
air supply, then squeeze and release the trigger to
ensure that the mechanisms and plunger move
smoothly.
7.2. Periodic Inspection (At Least Once a Month)
1. Remove any accumulated film with a suitable
cleaning agent that will not affect plastic material.
2. Make sure all components are in place and are
properly secured. Refer to Figure 5. Check the
handle assembly for chipped, cracked, worn, or
broken areas. If damage is evident, repair is
necessary. See Section 8, REPLACEMENT AND
REPAIR.
8. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
Customer-replaceable parts are listed in Figure 5.
A complete inventory can be stocked and controlled to
prevent lost time when replacement of parts is
necessary. Parts other than those listed should be
replaced by TE to ensure quality and reliability of the
handle assembly. Order replacement parts through
