The lower dial, marked with numbers 1 - 8, is for the insulation crimp height. JST do not advise pad settings for wire sizes, as is the practice of some manufacturers. We believe that the best method to adopt is to specify crimp-heights and adjust the dials until the desired crimp-height is achieved.
Apply grease to the surface of the cam-roller. APPLY GREASE HERE Apply grease to the four faces of the applicator ram. CAUTION Apply grease sparingly because excess grease attracts dirt and scrap insulation etc. H:\0 - Quality Documents\2 Department\Tech Serv\Application tooling\Presses\AP-K2\TS009-02 AP-K2 Operation Manual.doc...
