STRIPPING THE WIRE

1. Once you’ve determined which terminals you are working

with, position the wire in the corresponding strip guide.

There are two holes; one for the 8mm wire and another

for the 8.5mm wire.

2. There are two stripping positions indicated on the

stripping slot, depending on the terminal being used.

Slide the wire to the correct position and strip the sleeve

by holding a razor blade flush with the strip guide and

rotate the wire 360° (Figure 6).

3. Remove the wire and twist the cut end of the sleeve off

in a counterclockwise direction.

CRIMPING

To achieve the strongest crimp possible, it is required to

bend the crimp tabs over about 90° using needle nose

pliers (Figure 7). Follow the instructions for the terminal

you are using.

STANDARD TERMINALS

1. After stripping the sleeve, fold the conductor back along

the wire insulation (Figure 8).

2. Do not allow the conductor to pull tightly against the

insulation. A small gap around the conductor should be

present before crimping. Slide the wire into the terminal

with the conductor positioned so it is in contact with the

bottom of the terminal. Position the wire through until the

insulation protrudes about 1/8" beyond the crimp tabs.

3. Position the wire and terminal into the "W" groove of the

Mini-Stripper Crimper and proceed to Steps 4 - 6.

DUAL CRIMP TERMINALS

1. After stripping the sleeve, position the wire in the terminal

so the insulation protrudes about 1/8" beyond the

insulation crimp tabs and the conductor extends about

1/8" past the conductor crimp tabs (Figure 9)

2. Position the wire and terminal into the "W" groove of the

Mini-Stripper Crimper and follow Steps 3 - 6 to crimp

the terminal to the sleeve.

Note: It is normal for the conductor to retract into the

insulation slightly as the sleeve crimp is made.

3. After the sleeve is crimped, push the conductor between

the crimp tabs and use a set of needlenose pliers to crimp

them together. DO NOT OVER CRIMP.

4. Slide the other part of the Mini-Stripper-Crimper over the

wire terminal and lightly press them together (Figure 10).
