DESCRIPTION
(FIGURE 1)
The hand tools are designed with two indenter (crimper) dies, two anvil (stationary) dies, a locator, and a
CERTI-CRIMP tool ratchet. When closed, the dies form one crimping chamber. The ratchet assures full
crimping of the splice. Once engaged, the ratchet will not release until the tool handles have been FULLY
closed.
CAUTION
The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This design feature ensures maximum electrical and tensile performance of the
crimp. DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
PROPER USE GUIDELINES
Cumulative Trauma Disorders can result from the prolonged use of manually powered hand tools. Hand tools are intended for occasional use and low
