Crimping Terminals

1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.

2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down

position. With the locator attached, push the locator

button on the back of the hand tool to bring the locator

forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.

3. While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into

the proper nest opening in the locator based on the wire

gauge or terminal type markings on the hand tooling. See

Figure 3.

4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return

to the crimping position.

5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position

engages. See Figure 4.

6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal

and against the wire stop. See Figure 5.

7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until

the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.

Release the handles to open the jaws.

Note: The tamper-proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.

8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal

locator by pulling on the wire.

9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper

crimp location.

10. On some large O.D. wires, it may not be possible

to insert the wire with the tool partially closed.

Those wires should be inserted with the hand tool

in the open position. Insert the wire above the

terminal in the punch and against the wire stop,

and then close the tool. See Figure 6.

Locator Replacement

See the parts list on the last page of this document for the proper locator order number. Follow

the steps below to replace the locator:

1. Open the crimp hand tool.

2. Gently squeeze on the lower area shown in Figure 7A with your thumb and index finger.

The lower tabs of the locator should disengage from the hand tool.
