insulation grips may interfere with the crimp tooling
when swinging the locator into position. The
terminal must then be loaded into the locator in the
closed/crimp position. See Figure 4.
4. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as
shown in Figure . Insert the proper terminal into
the proper nest opening. Make sure when choosing
the nest opening, it will correspond with the 8 profile
on the hand tool.
5. Return the locator to its original position.
6. Turn the Locator Lock Latch up to lock. Make sure
that the terminal is visually centered over the punch.
7. Insert the proper wire over the terminal.
8. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire. See Figure 5 and 6.
9. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
Release handles to open the jaws.

Maint nanc
It is recommended that each operator of the tool
be made aware of, and responsible for, the
following maintenance steps:
1. 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.
. Make certain all pins; pivot points and bearing surfaces in the tool head are protected with a thin coat of high
quality machine oil. Do not oil excessively. This 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. The use of a
light oil, such as 0 weight automotive oil, every 5,000 crimps or monthly, will significantly enhance the tool life
and ensure a stable calibration. See Figure 7A or 7B for lubrication points.
