1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the anvil die in the moving jaw of the tool
frame. The rear crimping chamber is used to crimp
the receptacle—make sure that the wire anvil is
positioned so that the applicable wire size marking
on the die is located at the inside of the frame.
3. Insert die retaining screw and two die retaining
pins through the jaw and into the die. Tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
4. Place the crimper die in the stationary jaw of the
tool frame. Make sure that the chamfered edge of
the die faces outward.
5. Insert die retaining screw and two die retaining
pins through the jaw and into the die. Tighten the
screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do
not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
6. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvil and crimper dies align properly.
Continue closing the tool handles until the tool
frame ratchet has engaged sufficiently to hold the
dies in place, then tighten both die retaining
screws.
7. To disassemble, open the tool handles, remove
the two die retaining screws and four die retaining
pins, and slide the dies out of the tool jaws.
Refer to Figure 1 and select wire of the specified size.
Strip the wire to the length indicated, taking care not
to nick or cut wire strands. Select an applicable
receptacle and identify the appropriate crimping
chamber according to the wire size markings on the
anvil die. Refer to Figure 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Squeeze tool handles together until the ratchet
releases and then allow the tool jaws to open fully.
2. Insert the receptacle (mating end first) into the
BACK of the tool in the
rear
crimping chamber so
that the flat side of the receptacle faces the anvil
die. Make sure that the wire barrel is centered in
the crimping chamber.
3. Hold the receptacle in position and squeeze the
tool handles together until ratchet engages
sufficiently to hold the receptacle in position. Do
NOT deform the wire barrel.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel of the
receptacle.
5. Holding the wire in place, squeeze tool handles
together until ratchet releases. Allow tool handles
to open and remove crimped receptacle.
6. Inspect the crimped receptacle to ensure that
the crimp is centered on the wire barrel and the
wire is fully inserted. Check the receptacle crimp
height as described in Section 5. If necessary,
adjust the crimp height as described in Section 6.
