4.2. Crimping Splices
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. 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 degree 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.
