The tool features a tool frame with a stationary jaw

and handle, a moving jaw, a moving handle, and an

adjustable ratchet that ensures full contact crimping.

The tool frame holds a die assembly with one

crimping section.

The die assembly features a wire anvil, an insulation

anvil, a wire crimper, and an insulation crimper.

Attached to the outside of the frame is a locator

assembly and a terminal support. The locator

assembly contains a locator, a spring retainer, and a

contact support.

Die retaining pins and die retaining screws are used

to position and secure the dies in the tool frame. A

nut is used on the upper die retaining screw to hold

the locator assembly in place. A nut is used on the

lower die retaining screw to hold the terminal support

in place.

3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET

1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die

retaining screws from the tool jaw.

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 long die retaining pins.

4. Insert the 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 short die retaining pins.

7. Insert the 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.
