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
then close the tool. See Figure 6.
