3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE
Strip the wire according to the dimensions listed in
Figure 2. The strip length is determined by the splice
and by the wire size. Do not nick or cut the wire
strands. Proceed as follows:
1. Close the tool handles until the ratchet releases.
Allow the tool handles to open fully.
2. Place the splice against the locator in the
appropriate crimp chamber. See Figure 3.
3. While holding the splice in place, squeeze the
tool handles together just until the jaws begin to
close on the wire barrel. Do NOT deform the wire
barrel.
4. Insert the stripped wire into the wire barrel,
making sure that the wire insulation does not enter
the wire barrel.
5. While holding the wire in place, squeeze the tool
handles together until the ratchet releases, then
allow the tool handles to open fully.
