INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY
1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws (see Figure 1).
2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that their chamfered sides and the marked surfaces face
outward when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame.
3. Insert the two die retaining pins.
4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the jaw and through the anvil dies. Tighten the screw just
enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw completely.
5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so that the chamfered sides and the marked surface face
outward when mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame.
6. Insert the two die retaining pins.
7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the jaw and through the crimper dies. Tighten the screw just
enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw completely.
8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure the anvil and crimper align properly. Continue closing the
tool handles until the ratchet in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold the anvil and crimper in
place. Tighten both die retaining screws.
9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the long screw and position the locator assembly against
the side of the tool jaw.
10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly in
place, while still allowing the locator blade to slide up and down.
11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the ratchet releases. Remove the nut, the locator
assembly, the two die retaining screws, and the four die retaining pins. Slide the anvil and crimper out
of the tool jaws.
NOTE
The ratchet release has detents with audible clicks as the handles are closed. The ratchet releases on the sixth click.
