2. DESCRIPTION (Fi ure 1)
The die set is a replaceable die assembly with three
crimping areas which are marked with the letters R,B,
and Y. The letter corresponds to the insulation color of
the terminal (Red, Blue, or Yellow) to be crimped in
the crimping area. This die set can be used in the
tools listed in Figure 4. Refer to the instructions
packaged with the tools for die installation/removal
and tool operation procedures.
3. CRIMPING PROCEDURE (Fi ure 2)
1. Strip wire to proper length. See Figure 1.
2. Choose desired terminal and match insulation
color to crimping area letter.
3. Place terminal in the appropriate crimping
chamber between the locator assembly and the
upper die. Make sure that the flat side of the
terminal faces up. See Figure 2.
4. Terminal should be positioned in tool so that
wire enters from the BACK of the tool.
5. Close tool handles until terminal is held in dies
without deforming wire barrel.
6. Place stripped wire in terminal wire barrel and
squeeze handles until ratchet releases.
Damaged terminals may not be used. If a
terminal has been damaged during termination,
it must be cut from the wire and replaced with a
new one.
4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
4.1. Daily Maintenance
It is recommended that operators of the die set be
made aware of, and responsible for, the following
steps of daily maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and any other
contaminants from the die with a clean, soft brush,
or a clean, soft, lint–free cloth. Do NOT use hard or
abrasive objects that could damage the die.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a thin coat of any good
SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
4. When the tool is not in use, keep handles closed
to prevent objects from becoming lodged in the
crimping jaws. Store the tool in a clean, dry area.

4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections of the die should be performed by
quality control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the die or be supplied
to supervisory personnel responsible for the die.
Inspection frequency should be based upon amount
of use, working conditions, operator training and skill,
and established company standards.
4.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the tool (handles partially closed) in a
suitable commercial degreaser that will not affect
paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all retaining pins are in place
and secured with retaining rings.
3. Close tool handles until ratchet releases and
then allow them to open freely. If they do not open
quickly and fully, the spring is defective and must
be replaced. Refer to the instructions packaged
with the tool.
4. Inspect the tool frame for wear or damage,
paying particular attention to the tool jaws and
pivot points. If damage is evident, refer to the
instructions packaged with the tool for replacement
of parts. If tool is acceptable, lubricate and return
to service.
5. Check the crimping dies occasionally to make
sure dies are not broken or chipped. If damage is
evident, refer to Paragraph 6, PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
5. MEASURING DIE OPENING
The die assembly will perform correctly as long as:
S The product specified is correct for the
application.
S The specific die assembly is used.
S The die assembly has been measured to
ensure that the openings are correct.
S The tool has been adjusted correctly.
Figure 3 provides information on die opening sizes.
