7 Crimping procedure
Based on the wire cross-section and the relevant processing specification, determine the right crimping die for
the terminal to be processed. Proceed as follows to crimp the terminal:
Close the handles until the ratchet of the ratchet mechanism releases and allows you to
fully open the handles.
Note: The ratchet mechanism of the hand tool makes audible clicks when you close the handles. The ratchet
mechanism releases after the last click.
Open the terminal holder.
Press the hinged wire stop and push it against the terminal to be processed in the terminal
holder. Make sure the terminal is pushed into the stop in the terminal holder.
