4. Holding the wire in place and fully inserted, activate the power unit to complete the crimp.
5. Remove the crimped terminal from the die assembly. When removing a terminal from the die assembly, grip it as shown in
Figure 4.
NOTE
If terminal sticks in die after crimping, apply a rocking action to free it. Wipe light oil or use spray dry lubricant on dies to
prevent sticking.

An alternate method is:
NOTE
This method is only slightly different than the preferred method. The difference is when the wire is inserted into the wire barrel.
1. Before each crimp, apply a spray dry lubricant to the crimping area of the dies to reduce sticking of the
terminal in the dies.
2. Position the terminal in the stationary die (nest) with back of tongue resting against die, with the
crimping head yoke closed and pin fully inserted.
NOTE
Make sure terminal is positioned so crimper of the moving die (anvil) will crimp the wire barrel of the terminal. See Figure 3.
3. Jog the power unit to advance the ram to hold the terminal in place. Make sure not to deform the wire
barrel; otherwise, it may be difficult to insert the wire into the wire barrel of the terminal.
