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

 
7.

 

Lift up the crimped terminal from the 
terminal locator. 

8.

 

Visually inspect the crimped terminal 
for proper crimp location. 

9.

 

If crimping more wires advance the 
terminal strip by (1) detent until the 
terminal is centered with the punch 
nest. 

10.

 

Repeat this procedure until all the 
desired terminals are crimped on the 
strip. 

 
 

Maintenance 

 
It is recommended that each operator of 
the tool be made aware of, and responsible 
for, the following maintenance steps: 
 
1.

 

Remove the plastic handles from the metal tool 
frame by removing the screws and remove dust, 
moisture, and other contaminants with a clean brush, 
or soft, lint free cloth. 

2.

 

Do not use any abrasive materials that could 
damage the tool. 

3.

 

Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing 
surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality 
machine oil.  Do not oil excessively.  The tool was 
engineered for durability but like any fine piece of 
equipment it needs cleaning and lubrication for a 
maximum service life of trouble free crimping.  Light 
oil used at the pivot points every 5,000 crimps or 3 
months, will significantly enhance the tool life. 

4.

 

Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from 
crimping area. 

5.

 

When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to 
prevent objects from becoming lodged in the 
crimping dies, and store the tool in a clean, dry area. 

 

Miscrimps or Jams 

 
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed position, 

Do Not

 force the handles open or 

closed.  

The tool will open easily by pressing the ratchet release lever up.  See Figure 2.
