1. Open the crimp hand tool.
2. Squeeze gently on the lower area shown in Figure
7A with your thumb and index finger. The lower tabs
of the locator should disengage from the hand tool.
. Lift and pull away from the hand tool. The top
locator hooks should slip out of the top slots easily.
See Figure 7A.
4. To reinstall the new locator, make sure the hand tool
is in the open position.
5. Press the red insert down as far as it will go as
shown in Figure 7B.
6. Holding onto the lower part of the locator with your thumb and index finger, insert the locator top hooks (2) into
the hand tool 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 Hand Operation
This hand tool has an added feature that can be converted from a right handed
application to a left handed application. It is necessary to reverse the tooling
along with the locator if using the left handed application. Follow the steps
below:
1. The locator must be removed before reversing the tooling.
2. Remove the M BHCS which is holding the upper tooling.
. Flip the upper tooling to the opposite side and replace the M 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 Figure 8 and 9.
4. Do the same thing with the lower tooling and tighten the M 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 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 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 0 weight
automotive oil) used at the oil points, every 5,000 crimps or months, will significantly enhance the tool life.
4. Wipe excess oil from hand tool, particularly from crimping area. Oil transferred from the crimping area onto
certain terminations may affect the electrical characteristics of an application.
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.
