3. While grasping the lever and the handle portion of the frame, insert a wire so that the end of

the insulation is centered between the wire barrel and the insulation barrel of the terminal (see

Figure 3), and then close the hand tool lever completely. This will crimp the terminal to the

wire(s).

4.

Release the lever to open the hand tool and remove the crimped terminal from the holding pin

by lightly pulling straight out on the wire.

CAUTION

The crimp height for this hand tool was factory adjusted. Any random changes to this

adjustment could cause a defective crimp or damage to the tooling.

Terminal Inspection

The crimped terminal should be inspected to ensure that the tooling is correctly aligned and that

the wire was correctly inserted. Make the following visual checks (see Figure 4).

NOTE: If inspection of the crimped terminal reveals any defects, the terminal has not been

properly crimped and should be discarded.

• Check that all wire strands were crimped within the wire barrel.

• Check that the edge of the wire insulation lies between the insulation and wire barrel.

• Check that the bellmouth(s) were formed correctly.
