2. DESCRIPTION
(Figure 1)
The die set consists of a nest and an indenter, each
marked with a color code dot. The die set is held in
the tool by a single die holding screw. Each die set
is unique to its purpose, but die sets can be
interchanged to accommodate any modular plug.
Refer to Figure 2.
The tool features a wire cutter and flat oval cable
stripper to prepare unshielded flat oval cable. The tool
handle ensures full crimping. Once engaged, the
ratchet will not release until the handles have been
FULLY closed, unless the ratchet release (pawl) is
depressed to manually release the ratchet. When
depressed, the pawl prevents crimping of an
improperly positioned modular plug.
The dies bottom before the ratchet releases.
CAUTION
This feature ensures maximum electrical and
tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT
re–adjust the ratchet.
