2. DESCRIPTION (Figures 1 and 2)
The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw
and handle, a moving jaw , a moving handle, and an
adjustable ratchet that ensures full crimping.
The tool frame holds a die assembly with two
crimping chambers. The die assembly features a wire
anvil die, an insulation anvil die, a wire crimper die,
and an insulation crimper die. Attached to the outside
of the frame is a locator assembly, which contains a
locator, a spring retainer, and a contact support.
Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used
to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A
nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold
the locator assembly in place.
3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE ASSEMBLY
AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY
(Figure 2)
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die
retaining screws from the tool jaws.
2. Place the wire anvil die and insulation anvil die
so that their chamfered edges and their marked
surfaces face outward, when mounted in the
moving jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins through the jaw
and into the dies.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both anvil dies. T ighten the screw
just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
5. Place the wire crimper die and insulation
crimper die so that their chamfered edges and their
marked surfaces face outward, when mounted in
the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins through the jaw
and into the dies.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the
jaw and through both crimper dies. Tighten the
screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do not
tighten the screw completely at this time.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure
that the anvil and crimper dies align properly.
Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet
has engaged suf ficiently to hold the dies in place,
then tighten both die retaining screws.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the
long screw, and position the locator assembly
against the side of the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw,
and tighten the nut just enough to hold the locator
assembly in place while still allowing the locator to
slide up and down.
11. To disassemble, squeeze the tool handles until
the ratchet releases, open the tool handles,
remove the nut, the locator assembly, two die
retaining screws and four die retaining pins, and
slide the dies out of the tool jaws.
