The offset cavity of the die must always face the center of the splice, and the wire stops on the splice must always face either
die (see Figure 6).
2. Activate the power unit so the moving die advances and holds the splice in place without deforming
the wire barrel.
3. Insert the first wire until it bottoms in the splice. The ends of the wires must be visible through the
sight hole.
4. Activate power unit to complete the first crimp.
