1. MT-25 is suitable for terminating insulated and non-insulated cable lugs from copper
and aluminum.
A. Copper cable AWG 8~250MCM (10~120mm2)
B. Aluminum cable AWG 8 ~ 4/0 (10~120mm2)
2. Please use the golden plate on the left-hand side for size adjustment when crimping
copper cable, use the silver plate on another side when crimping aluminum cable.
3. Due to different brands of terminals and cables, there will be slight size difference. For
the first time use, please adjust the scale on V shape part to be between the size of
terminal needs to be crimped and one size bigger. For example, if you’d like to crimp 3/0
terminal, please adjust the scale to be between 3/0 and 4/0 for the first time to find out
the best position of crimping. The position of scale can be adjusted in anti-clockwise
direction of the black knob on the top.

4. Open the moveable handle
5. Place the terminals and cable in position.
6. Press the handle. NOTE: please press the moveable handle to the end.
7. Open the handle and check the if the terminal and cable crimped properly..

8. If the terminal was not crimped tightly enough, adjust the V shape part to be tighter by
adjusting the black knob in clockwise direction until it can crimp the terminal properly.
Then keep the position for next crimping job.
9. If the brand or size of terminal/ cable will be changed, please follow step 3 to 8 to avoid
damaging the product.
NOTE: When crimping the terminal, if the moveable handle can not be press to the end with
big pressure already, please check the position of scale is needed to be adjusted or
not right away. The handle could be broken under overloaded pressure.
CAUTION: Do not use other tube or equipment to extend the handle for crimping in order
not to damage the product.
