3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die

retaining screws from the tool jaws.

2. Place the wire anvil and insulation anvil so that

their chamfered sides and their marked surfaces

face outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of

the tool frame.

3. Insert the two die retaining pins.

4. Insert the short die retaining screw through the

jaw and through both anvil dies, and tighten the

screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do

not

tighten the screw completely at this time.

5. Place the wire crimper and insulation crimper so

that their chamfered sides and their marked

surfaces face outward, when mounted in the

stationary jaw of the tool frame.

6. Insert the two die retaining pins.

7. Insert the long die retaining screw through the

jaw and through both crimper dies, and tighten the

screw just enough to hold the dies in place. Do

not

tighten the screw completely at this time.

8. Carefully close the tool handles, making sure

that the anvils and crimpers align properly.

Continue closing the tool handles until the ratchet

in the tool frame has engaged sufficiently to hold

the anvils and crimpers in place, then tighten both

die retaining screws.

9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the

long screw, and position the locator assembly

against the side of the tool jaw.

10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw

and tighten the nut enough to hold the locator

assembly in place, while still allowing the locator to

slide up and down.

11. To disassemble, close the tool handles until the

ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator

assembly, the two die retaining screws, and the

four die retaining pins, and slide the anvils and

crimpers out of the tool jaws.

The contact support is preset prior to shipment,

but minor adjustment may be necessary.

1. Make a sample crimp and determine if the

contact is straight, bending upward, or bending

downward.

2. If adjustment is required, loosen the screw that

holds the contact support onto the locator

assembly.

The ratchet has detents that create audible clicks

as the tool handles are closed.

3. Place a contact with wire into the proper nest

and close the tool handles until the ratchet reaches

the sixth click, or until the contact support touches

the contact.
