INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY (Fgure 2) 1. Open the tool handles and remove the two de retanng screws from the tool jaws. 2. Place the wre anvl and nsulaton anvl so that ther chamfered sdes and ther marked surfaces face outward, when mounted n the movng jaw of the tool frame. 3. Insert the two de retanng pns. 4. Insert the short de retanng screw through the jaw and through both anvl des, and tghten the screw just enough to hold the des n place. Do not tghten the screw completely at ths tme. 5. Place the wre crmper and nsulaton crmper so that ther chamfered sdes and ther marked surfaces face outward, when mounted n the statonary jaw of the tool frame. 6. Insert the two de retanng pns. 7. Insert the long de retanng screw through the jaw and through both crmper des, and tghten the screw just enough to hold the des n place. Do not tghten the screw completely at ths tme. 8. Carefully close the tool handles, makng sure that the anvls and crmpers algn properly. 9. 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. 10. Place the locator assembly over the end of the long screw, and poston the locator assembly aganst the sde of the tool jaw. 11. 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. 12. 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. CONTACT SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT (Fgure 3) The contact support s preset pror to shpment, but mnor adjustment may be necessary. 1. Make a sample crmp and determne f the contact s straght, bendng upward, or bendng downward. 2..If adjustment s requred, loosen the screw that holds the contact support onto the locator assembly. The ratchet has detents that create audble clcks as the tool handles are closed. 2 of 6
3. Place a contact wth wre nto the proper nest and close the tool handles untl the ratchet reaches the sxth clck, or untl the contact support touches the contact. 4. Slghtly loosen the nut that holds the locator assembly onto the tool frame. 5. Move the contact support as requred to elmnate the bendng of the contact. 6. Tghten the nut and close the handles untl the ratchet releases. 7. Remove and nspect the contact. 8. Make another sample crmp. If the contact s straght, tghten the contact support screw. If the contact s stll beng bent durng crmpng, repeat the adjustment procedure. 5. 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, RATCHET (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: 1. Hold the tool so that the back (wre sde) s facng you. Squeeze tool handles together and allow them to open fully. 2. Holdng the contact by the matng end, nsert the contact - nsulaton barrel frst - through the front of the tool and nto the approprate crmp secton. 3. 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. Insert strpped wre nto contact nsulaton and wre barrels untl t s butted aganst the wre stop, as shown n Fgure 3. 6. Holdng the wre n place, squeeze tool handles together untl ratchet releases. Allow tool handles to open and remove crmped contact. The crmped contact may stck n the crmpng area, but the contact can be easly removed by pushng downward on the top of the locator (see Fgure 3). 7. 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, RATCHET (Crmp Heght) ADJUSTMENT. the tool must be adjusted. Refer to Secton 7, RATCHET (Crmp Heght) ADJUSTMENT. 7. RATCHET (Crmp Heght) ADJUSTMENT 1. Remove the lockscrew from the ratchet adjustment wheel. 2. Wth a screwdrver, adjust the ratchet wheel from the locator sde of the tool (see Fgure 5). Screwdrver 6. CRIMP HEIGHT INSPECTION RATCHET (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 crmp-heght comparators can be found n nstructon 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, 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. 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. 4 of 6
9. VISUAL INSPECTION The crmpng des should be nspected on a regular bass to ensure that they have not become worn or damaged. Inspect the crmp sectons for flattened, chpped, worn, or broken areas. If damage or abnormal wear s evdent, the tool must be replaced. See Secton 10, REPLACEMENT. 10. REPLACEMENT Customer-replaceable parts are shown n Fgure 1.
