OPERATION
CAUTION: Install only Molex terminals listed above with this tool. Do not crimp hardened objects
because 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. See Figure 1.
Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding
charts.
2. Make sure the center of the locator is in the down
position. With the locator attached, push the
locator button on the back of the hand tool to
bring the locator forward through the tooling. See
Figure 2.
3. While holding the locator button in, load the
terminal into the proper nest opening in the
locator based on the wire gauge or terminal type
markings on the hand tool. See Figure 3.

4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping position.
5. With the hand tool open, insert the properly stripped wire and seal under the punches into
the lower part of the upper tooling until the wire is against the wire stop. See Figure 4.
6. Seal position should be under and inside the punches. Keep this position while crimping.
7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has
been completed. Release the handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper-proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal locator by pulling on the wire.
9. Visually inspect the crimped terminal for proper crimp location.
Note
A crimp height chart is provided with this manual as reference only. Because of the wide range of
wires, strands, insulation diameters and durometers available, actual crimp height measurements
may very slightly. An occasional destructive pull force test should be performed to check hand tool
crimp. Pull force value must exceed the minimum pull force specifications listed.
Locator Replacement
See the parts list on the last page of this document for the proper locator order number. Follow
the steps below to replace the locator:
1. Open the hand crimp tool.
2. Gently squeeze on the lower area shown in
Figure 5A with your thumb and index finger.
The lower tabs of the locator should
disengage from the hand tool.
3. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The
top locator hooks should slip out of the top
slots easily. See Figure 5A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the
hand tool is in the open position.
5. Press the center of the locator down as far as
it will go as shown in Figure 5B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator
with your thumb and index finger, insert the
locator’s top hooks into the hand tool’s top
slots.
7. Rotate the locator down and press the lower
tabs into the two bottom slots of the hand
tool. To secure the locator into place, the
lower tabs must snap into place on the hand tool frame.

Right- or Left-Handed Operation
This hand tool can be converted from a right-handed application to a left-handed application. It
is necessary to reverse the tooling if using the left-handed application along with the locator.
Follow the steps below:
1. The locator must be removed before
reversing the tooling.
2. Remove the M3 BHCS, which is holding
the upper tooling.
3. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite
side and replace the M3 BHCS. Make
sure the small markings on the front
and back of the hand tool frame match
up and are on the outside of the hand
tool frame. See Figures 6 and 7.
4. Do the same thing with the lower
tooling and tighten the M3 screws. Be
sure the small markings line up.
5. Reinstall the locator by following the
instructions in the locator replacement
section.
MAINTENANCE
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 a 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
other equipment, it needs cleaning and lubrication for a
maximum service life of trouble-free crimping. Light oil such as
30-weight automotive oil used at the oil points every 5,000
crimps or 3 months will significantly enhance the tool life. See
Figure 8.
4. Wipe excess oil from the hand tool, particularly from the
crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an
application.
5. When the 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 up on the ratchet release lever in the movable handle.
See Figure 9.
How to Adjust Tool Preload (See Figure 10)
Hand tool frame preload is factory preset to ensure crimp quality. 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. Open the hand tool.
2. Close the handle 2 ratchet clicks.
3. Hold the hand tool in the palm of
your hand as shown in Figure 10.
Using your index finger, squeeze the
link toward the top of the hand tool
frame. This will release the preload
adjustment wheel.
4. Rotate the setting wheel
counterclockwise (CCW) to increase
handle force. The numbers will
display higher. To decrease handle
force, rotate the setting wheel
clockwise (CW).
5. Release the link to lock the setting
wheel in place.
6. Check the crimp specifications or conduct a pull test after tool handle preload force is
adjusted.
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 30 days. Should such a defect occur, Molex 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 use 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.

CERTIFICATION
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. See the Molex website 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 should be 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.
