TOOL OPERATION
To simplify operation, the tool head of the crimping tool may be rotated, by hand, 360° relative to the tool
body. Also, the tool top may be opened to accommodate splices and large connectors (see Fig. 2 on Page
5).
NOTE:
The tool top does not have to be opened, except for larger connectors and special applications.
To open the tool top, pull the "D-ring" to disengage the lockout pin so that the tool top can swing open.
Before crimping, lock the tool top in the closed position by lowering the tool top, and sliding the lockout pin
completely through the tool head and both surfaces of the tool top.
Failure to lock the tool top in the closed position may result in damage to the tool and
personal injury.

CAUTION
To avoid head damage, it is critical
that the connector is centered
properly at the stationary indenter.
