1.

WIRE PREPARATION

Prior to crimping contacts, wire must be stripped to a length of .250" ± .025" [6.35± 0.64].
Wire should have no insulation tearing or stretching and no conductor strands missing or damaged.
2.

CONTACT LOADING

Cycle handles to release ratchet and fully open crimp jaws. Insert contact into desired nest. Verify
that contact is fully inserted into locator block. Adjust alignment and width of crimp wings if
necessary to insure capture by crimp jaws.
Terminals may have sharp edges. Use finger protection to avoid cuts.
Do not place fingers in tool areas, which may pinch during crimp cycle.
3.

HAND-CRIMP CYCLE

Close crimp tool until full-cycle ratchet control releases.
4.

CONTACT REMOVAL

After completing the crimp cycle, open jaws fully.
5.

MAINTENANCE and INSPECTION

Maintenance and inspection should be performed regularly. Tool should be wiped clean with special
emphasis on the crimping cavities. Tool may be cleaned by immersing in a suitable commercial
solvent or cleaner which does not attack paints or plastic material. The tool should be re-lubricated
after cleaning using a light film of medium weight oil on bearing surfaces and pivot pins. When not in
use, keep handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies. Store in a
clean dry area.
