1. General information
Designed and manufactured pursuant to state-of-the-art technical requirements and latest safety standards, this
four-indent crimp tool PEW 8.75 to be used only when in order and in strict compliance with existing safety rules.
The tool has been developed for crimping of both male and female turned contacts. The tool is only to be used for
the application described below. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by improper use or unauthorised
technical modifications of the tool.
2. Application
The four-indent crimp tool PEW 8.75 has been developed for optimal crimping of turned contacts for wire ranges
0.14 to 6.0 mm² (26 through 10 AWG).

3. Description of the tool
The tool consists of a movable handle with precision ratchet mechanism, a fixed handle with a metric scale, an
adjustment system by micro setting of 0.01 mm tolerance, four indenter jaws and a 12-position locator, fully
rotatable, for accurate positioning of contacts. A reference table marked onto the crimp tool’s surface informs on
the locator position and crimp depth to be selected to match a particular contact. The tool can be adjusted to any
crimp depths that might be requested by the contact manufacturer.
4. Function
Loosen the clamping screw on the opposite site of the adjusting screw before using the tool (don’t remove
the clamping screw!).
The reference table indicates the correct locator position to be selected and the crimp depth to be adjusted
for the contact to be crimped.
The contact is then inserted through the entry hole of the tool on the opposite side of the locator.
The contact is fixed by closing the handles to the first lock-in position thus preventing the contact falling out
of the tool and facilitating insertion of cable into the contact.
The precision ratchet assures consistently accurate crimps every time by forcing the tool to be closed to its fullest
extent, completing the crimping cycle before the tool opens automatically.
Changing the Locators
Loosen the hexagon socket with the enclosed allen-key. Remove the locator by turning it counter clockwise.
CAUTION:
Do not crimp onto the gauge when inserted or any other items that are not meant for the intended application! Do
not crimp on solid material exceeding 35 HRC (e.g. steel)!

5. Adjustment of crimp depth
The crimp depth has to be adjusted as follows:
Adjusting screw turned clockwise for reducing of crimp depth and anticlockwise for increasing of crimp depth.
Adjustment tolerances
1 scale spacing on the screw = adjustment by 1/100 mm
1 full rotation of screw = adjustment by 0.2 mm (indication on the screw as well as on the rough scale)
5 rotations of the screw = adjustment by 1 mm (indication on the scale)
6. Gauging the crimp depth
Crimp tool adjustment is carried out in the factory. Gauging every working day is recommended to ensure accurate
calibration. This is easily accomplished with a GO–NOGO gauge (Ilme art. CCPNP RN) at ø 2.0 mm position. The
crimp depth of 2.00 mm is set by means of the adjusting screw (scale mark at „2“, screw mark at „0“ as shown in
the fig. above) and the tool is to close. In case the GO-side doesn’t go or the NOGO-side goes, i.e. the tolerances
required by the manufacturer are overstepped, please contact your distributor for action.
CAUTION:
Do not crimp onto the gauge when inserted or any other items that are not meant for the intended application! Do
not crimp on solid material exceeding 35 HRC
(e.g. steel)!
7. Maintenance and repair
Keep the tool clean and properly stored when not in use. The joints need to be oiled regularly and the circlips
securing the bolts should always be in place. For any repair, please return the tool to your distributor.
