DESCRIPTION
(Figure 1)
The tool features two wire supports, a set of dies (anvils and crimpers), a wire cutter, and a handle assembly.
In use, the wire supports hold and position the wires in the crimpers. As the tool is cycled, the wire cutter cuts
off excess wire, then the crimping dies crimp the connector to the wires. Continuous pressure applied to the
moving handle forces the link to snap the tool handles closed, thus completing the crimp cycle. After the cycle
is completed, depress the release lever to open the handles and remove the crimped connector.

CONNECTOR SELECTION
Determine the wire gage and combination of conductors to be joined. Then refer to Figure 2 for the correct
connector. Note the PICABOND connectors can be used for 28 through 19 AWG copper conductors that are
insulated with plastic, paper, or pulp materials.
