3.
While holding in the locator button, 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 then close the
tool. See Figure 6.
