Bring down the wire stop blade.

Slide the pre-stripped wire into the terminal; make sure to aim the
wire brush towards the tip point on the wire stop blade. See Figure

Maintain a light and constant pressure on the wire that is seated in
the terminal at all times. (Do not let go of the wire.) Be sure to
hold the wire and terminal in place until the terminal is fully
crimped. See Figure 3.

The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
Note:
To maintain good brush control and a consistent bell mouth the crimping instructions must be followed.
