Contnue closng the tool handles untl the ratchet n the tool frame has engaged suffcently to hold the anvls and crmpers n place, then tghten both de retanng screws. 9. Place the locator assembly over the end of the long screw, and poston the locator assembly aganst the sde of the tool jaw. 10. Place the nut onto the end of the long screw and tghten the nut enough to hold the locator assembly n place, whle stll allowng the locator to slde up and down. 11. To dsassemble, close the tool handles untl the ratchet releases, remove the nut, the locator assembly, the two de retanng screws, and the four de retanng pns, and slde the anvls and crmpers out of the tool jaws. 4.

CRIMPING PROCEDURE Ths tool s provded wth a crmp adjustment feature. Intally, the crmp heght should be verfed as specfed n Fgure 4. Refer to Secton 6, Crmp Heght Inspecton, and Secton 7, crmp heght Adjustment, to verfy crmp heght before usng the tool to crmp desred contacts and wre szes. Refer to the table n Fgure 1 and select wre of the specfed sze and nsulaton dameter. Strp the wre to the length ndcated n Fgure 1, takng care not to nck or cut wre strands. Select an applcable contact and dentfy the approprate crmp secton accordng to the wre sze markngs on the tool. Refer to Fgure 3 and proceed as follows: 2 of 5

Poston the contact so that the matng end of the contact s on the locator sde of the tool, and so that the open U of the wre and nsulaton barrels must face the top of the tool. Place the contact up nto the nest so that the movable locator drops nto the slot n the contact. Refer to Fgure 3. Butt the front end of the wre barrel aganst the movable locator. CAUTION Make sure that both sdes of the nsulaton barrel are started evenly nto the crmpng secton. Do not! attempt to crmp an mproperly postoned contact. 4. Hold the contact n poston and squeeze the tool handles together untl ratchet engages suffcently to hold the contact n poston. Do NOT deform nsulaton barrel or wre barrel. 5.

Check the contact's crmp heght as descrbed n Secton 6, Crmp Heght Inspecton. If necessary, adjust the crmp heght as descrbed n Secton 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. 6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION Crmp heght nspecton s performed through the use of a mcrometer wth a modfed anvl, commonly referred to as a crmp-heght comparator. TE does not manufacture or market crmp-heght comparators. Detaled nformaton on obtanng and usng crmpheght comparators can be found n Instructon Sheet 408-7424. Proceed as follows: 1. Refer to Fgure 4 and select a wre (maxmum sze) for each crmp secton lsted.

Refer to Secton 5, CRIMPING PROCEDURE, and crmp the contact(s) accordngly. 3. Usng a crmp heght comparator, measure the wre barrel crmp heght as shown n Fgure 4. If the crmp heght conforms to that shown n the table, the tool s consdered dmensonally correct. If not, the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Secton 7, CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT. 3 of 5
7. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT (Fgure 5) 1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet adjustment wheel. 2. Wth a screwdrver, adjust the ratchet wheel from the locator sde of the tool. 3. Observe the ratchet adjustment wheel. If a tghter crmp s requred, rotate the adjustment wheel COUNTERCLOCKWISE to a hgher-numbered settng. If a looser crmp s requred, rotate the adjustment wheel CLOCKWISE to a lowernumbered settng. 4. Replace the lockscrew. 5. Make a sample crmp and measure the crmp heght. If the dmenson s acceptable, replace and secure the lockscrew. If the dmenson s unacceptable, contnue to adjust the ratchet, and agan measure a sample crmp. Screwdrver Ratchet Adjustment Wheel Lockscrew Fgure 5 8. MAINTENANCE Ensure that the tool and des are clean by wpng them wth a clean, soft cloth. Remove any debrs wth a clean, soft brush. Do not use objects that could damage the tool. When not n use, keep handles closed to prevent objects from becomng lodged n the crmpng des, and store n a clean, dry area. 9.
