OPERATION
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 Terminals
1. Lift the locator blade and place the terminal into the
correct die profile (A or B), release the locator blade.
Not all tools are equipped with a locator or locator blade.
2. Partially close the tool until the terminal is
held in place, (See Figure 1). If the
insulation diameter is too large to do this,
then place the insulation down into the
terminal before closing the tool.
3. Place a wire into the terminal and up
against the locator blade. (See Figure 2).
On tools without locators line the wire up
with the conductor and insulation grips
visually.
4. Close the tool until the ratchet releases, (See
Figure 3).
5. Lift the locator blade or wire stop up.
6. Carefully remove the crimped terminal.

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.
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.
4. 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 lifting the
ratchet release lever (See Figure 4).
How To Adjust Tool Crimp Force
(See Figure 4)
It may be necessary over the life of the
tool to adjust tool-crimping force. Listed
below are the steps required to adjust
the crimping force of the hand tool to
obtain proper crimp conditions:
1. Remove the screw and plastic cover
washer. Note the setting wheel position.
2. Lift the setting wheel off the axle.
Turn the eccentric axle with a
screwdriver.
3. Turning the eccentric axle counter-
clockwise will increase handle force.
4. Replace the setting wheel to the axle,
aligning the nearest notch in the setting
wheel to the dowel pin.
5. Replace the plastic cover washer and
screw.
6. Check to the crimp specifications
after tool crimp 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, we
would exchange the tool free of charge.
This 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.
Hand held crimping tools are intended for
low volume, prototyping, or repair
requirements only.
CAUTION: Repetitive use of this tool
should be avoided.
Notes:
1. This tool should only be used for the
terminals and wire gauges specified
on this sheet.
2. This tool is not adjustable for crimp
height, however crimp force is
adjustable (See instructions above).
Variations in tools, terminals, wire
stranding and insulation types may
affect crimp height.
3. This tool is intended for standard
conductor sizes. It may not give a
good insulation crimp support for all
insulation sizes.
4. Molex does not repair hand tools (see
warranty above) The replacement
parts listed are the only parts
available for repair. If the handles or
crimp tooling is damaged or worn, a
new tool must be purchased.

5. Pull force should be used as the
final criteria for an acceptable
crimp. Pull force is measured
with no influence from the
insulation crimp. The insulation
should be stripped long (1/2 in.)
so the insulation grips on the
terminal do not grip the wire
insulation or the conductor.
Refer to Molex Quality Crimping
Handbook 63800-0029 for
additional information on
crimping and crimp testing.
6. Molex does not certify crimp
hand tools.
CAUTION: Molex crimp specifications
are valid only when used with Molex
terminals, applicators and tooling.
