4 Description
4.1 Functional description
Crimping is performed by squeezing the handles together. Suitable crimp terminals are
crimped using dies.
The ratchet mechanism of the hand tool has resting points which click when closing the
handles.

5 Set-up
5.1 Cross-section setting
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 termi-
nal:
Close the hand tool until the locking mechanism allows you to open the handles.
Cross-section data may differ from the actual hand tool.
The locking mechanism of the hand tool has a ratchet that makes audible clicks
when you close the handles. When you hear the last click, the locking mechanism
releases and the hand tool can be opened again. For an emergency release, the
lever of the unlocking mechanism must be operated.
Figure 2: Position the die
Lift the die latch and position the die, so that the cross-section to be processed can
be seen in the viewing window.
The die latch must then be returned to the starting point, so that the die is fixed in po-
sition.

6 Operation
ATTENTION!
Fatigue symptoms
Prolonged use of mechanical hand tools can lead to fatigue symptoms, also
called "cumulative trauma disorders", such as tendon sheath inflammation. Hand
tools are only intended for occasional use with low stress levels.
In situations where prolonged use is necessary, pneumatic or electric hand
tools should be used.
6.1 Crimping terminals
Open the hinged terminal holder.
Open the wire stop and insert the terminal to be processed into the terminal holder.
Make sure the terminal is pushed into the stop in the terminal holder.
Figure 3: Position the terminal over the terminal holder (left), insert wire (right).
Carefully close the hinged terminal holder.
Feed the wire, insulated according to the processing specification, into the terminal
until it reaches the wire stop.
Hold the wire against the wire stop and press the handles together until the locking
mechanism opens again. The hand tool then opens fully.

Then you can remove the crimped terminal from the crimping die. Ensure that the
wire stop is opened. If the terminal is stuck, jiggle it slightly to remove it from the ter-
minal holder.
Check the crimp height of the crimped terminal, Refer to the information in the TE
Connectivity processing specification and drawing.
The hand tool is ready for use again.
7 Repair and maintenance
7.1 Daily Maintenance
The following daily maintenance tasks should be performed by the responsible operator:
Using a soft, clean brush or a lint-free cloth, remove dirt, dust, moisture and other
residue from the hand tool. Do not use any hard or abrasive tools or materials that
could damage the hand tool.
Apply sewing-machine oil to all pivot points and bearing surfaces. Do not lubricate
excessively.
When the hand tool is not needed, store it in a clean and dry location.
7.2 Periodic inspection
The hand tool should be inspected periodically by suitably qualified staff according to
the level of use, and the inspections should be documented.
Check the hand tool for wear and damage, particularly in the crimping nest areas.
