TOOL PREPARATION
1. Check that the tool is in the open position.
2. Place positioner assembly onto retainer ring with the 2 socket head screws lined up with
tapped holes.
3. After positioner assembly is seated against retainer ring, tighten socket head screws with
9/64 Inch (3.57mm) hex key.
4. Check Table 1 for the correct crimp tool setting of the wire size you wish to crimp.
5. Remove the safety clip from the selector knob (do not discard).
6. Lift and turn the selector knob until the correct crimp tool setting is lined up with the “Sel.
No.” arrow. Lower the selector knob, ensuring the locating peg lines up with a notch.
7. Install the safety clip back into the selector knob.
CRIMPING PROCEDURE
1. Ensure that the wire to be crimped is within the specified range of sizes for the contact and
the crimp tool. Failure to use the specified wire size will result in poor quality crimps and
possible tool damage.

2. Cut the end of the cable to be terminated so that there is a clean cut end (Figure A). Strip
the cable to the correct length (Figure B) using a PTFE Wire stripper, preferably with
adjustable rotating cutter. This should result in all the strands lying together neatly. If the
lay of the strands is disturbed, it may be re-imposed with a slight twist.
