Figure 5

6. Hold wire in place and close the tool handles

FULLY to crimp the terminal or splice. Allow tool

handles to open FULLY. Remove the crimped

terminal or splice from the crimping jaws.

7. To crimp the other half of the splice, reposition the

uncrimped sleeve in the crimping jaws as described

in Step 3. Follow Steps 4 through 6 to complete the

crimp.

If the splice cannot be turned around to position the

uncrimped sleeve in the crimping jaws, turn the tool

around.

8. Inspect the crimp. Refer to Figure 6 for a properly

crimped terminal and splice. Check the insulation

grip on the crimped terminal or splice. Refer to

Section 4, INSULATION CRIMPING

ADJUSTMENT.

The hashmark code on the bottom of the wire

barrel sleeve created by the tool should match the

hashmark code referenced with the appropriate

tool. See Figure 6.

4. INSULATION CRIMPING ADJUSTMENT

The hand tool has three insulation crimping

adjustment positions to adjust the wire insulation grip:

1-Tight, 2-Medium, and 3-Loose. To obtain the desired

insulation grip, proceed as follows:

1. Insert insulation crimping adjustment pins into

Position 3 as shown in Figure 1.

2. Position terminal or splice in crimping jaws as

described in Section 3, Step 3.

3. Insert an UNSTRIPPED wire into only the

insulation barrel sleeve of the terminal or splice.
