the tool, insert the terminal or splice wire barrel

sleeve into the crimping jaws making sure that the

edge of the wire barrel sleeve rests against the

Figure 4

Closing the tool handles too tightly will deform the

terminal or splice.

5. Insert wire conductor through the insulation barrel

sleeve and into the wire barrel sleeve until it is flush

with the outer edge of the wire barrel sleeve. See

Figure 3 and Figure 4.
