Information 2. DESCRIPTION The handles of the crimping tools are color-coded to match the color coding of the product to be applied. Yellow The insulation adjustment indicator is used to control Handle crimp height of the insulation barrel. It can be set at any of four positions corresponding to insulation diameter. Tools also feature a locator, quick take-up trigger, and color code information. The CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control ensures full crimping of the product. Once engaged, CERTI-CRIMP* Hand Crimping Tool Ratchet Control the ratchet will not release until the handles have been FULLY closed. Figure 1 The crimping dies bottom before the ratchet CAUTION releases. This is a design feature that ensures 1. INTRODUCTION maximum electrical and tensile performance of the crimp. Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet. This instruction sheet covers the use of-HEAD Crimping Tools 59170, 59250, 59275, 59300, 3. COLOR AND DOT CODING 69692-1, and 69693-1. See Figure 1.
