Not :
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as Reference Only. Due to the wide range of wires, strands,
insulation diameters, and durometers, actual crimp height measurements may very slightly. An occasional,
destructive, pull force test should be preformed to check hand tool crimp. Pull Force value Must exceed the
Minimum pull force specifications listed
OPERATION
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects as
damage can occur to the tool or die.
Open the tool by squeezing the handles together, at the end of
the closing stroke, the ratchet mechanism will release the
handles, and the hand tool will spring open.
Crimping T rminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding charts.
2. Position the terminal from the back of the hand tool up and
into the proper locator opening with the crimp barrels
centered over the anvils. See Figure 1. Make sure when
choosing the correct nest and locator opening, it will
correspond with the pocket marked with the wire size profile
on the hand tool.
3. Partially close the jaws of the hand tool by squeezing the
handles until you hear the fist click of the ratchet. This will
move the wire stop into position.
4. From the front of the hand tool insert the pre-stripped wire
over the terminal and against the wire stop. See Figure 2.
5. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the
ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed. Release
handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.

6. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator.
7. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp
location.
Maint nanc
It is recommended that each operator of the tool be made aware
of, and responsible for, the following maintenance steps:
1. Remove the plastic handles from the metal tool frame by
removing the screws and remove dust, moisture, and other
contaminants with a clean brush, or soft, lint free cloth.
2. Do not use any abrasive materials that could damage the
tool.
3. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of high quality machine
oil. Do not oil excessively. The tool was engineered for durability but like any fine piece of equipment it needs
cleaning and lubrication for a maximum service life of trouble free crimping. Light oil used at the pivot points
every 5, crimps or 3 months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area.
5. When tool is not in use, keep the handles closed to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the crimping dies,
and store the tool in a clean, dry area.
Miscrimps or Jams
Should this tool ever become stuck or jammed in a partially closed
position, Do Not force the handles open or closed. The tool will
open easily by pressing the ratchet release lever up. See Figure 3.
How to Adjust Tool Pr load
It may be necessary over the life of the tool to adjust tool handle
preload force. Listed below are the steps required to adjust the
crimping force of the hand tool to obtain proper crimp conditions:
1. Remove the 2mm locking screw from the numbered adjusting
wheel using a screw driver. See Figure 4.
2. Using the same screw driver turn the adjustment wheel to the
next highest number.
Note: The uneven numbers are in clockwise (CW) direction and the even numbers are counter clockwise
(CCW).
3. Example: If the preload is set at number 5, then to increase the preload, turn the adjustment wheel until the 6th
position is located over the 2mm locking screw tapped hole. If it is necessary to move to the 7th position, then
the adjustment wheel should be turned counter clockwise (CCW) until the 7th position is over the 2mm locking
screw tapped hole.
4. Replace the 2mm locking screw, aligning the nearest notch in the setting wheel to locking screw.
5. Check the crimp specifications and conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is adjusted. Repeat these
steps until the desired result is obtained.

Warranty
This tool is for electrical terminal crimping purposes only. This tool is made of the best quality materials. All vital
components are long life tested. All tools are warranted to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 3
days. Should such a defect occur, we will repair or exchange the tool free of charge. This repair or exchange will
not be applicable to altered, misused, or damaged tools. This tool is designed for hand use only. Any clamping,
fixturing, or use of handle extensions voids this warranty.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications are valid only when used with Molex terminals and tooling.
CAUTIONS:
1. Manually powered hand tools are intended for low volume, prototyping, or field repair. This tool is NOT
intended for production use. Repetitive use of this tool should be avoided.
2. Insulated rubber handles are not protection against electrical shock.
3. Wear eye protection at all times.
4. Use only the Molex terminals specified for crimping with this tool.
C rtification
Molex does not certify or re-certify hand tools but rather supplies the following guidelines for customers to re-
certify hand tools.
% This tool is qualified to pull force only. To re-certify, crimp a terminal to a wire, which has been stripped
12.7mm (1/2”) long, so there is no crimping of the insulation. Pull the terminal and wire at a rate no faster than
25mm (1. ”) per minute. See the Molex web site for the Quality Crimp Handbook for more information on pull
testing.
% If the tool does not meet minimum pull force values, handle preload should be increased and the pull test
rerun, (See How to Adjust Preload).
% When the hand tool is no longer capable of achieving minimum pull force, it should be taken out of service and
replaced.
