CAUTION Locator The dies bottom before the ratchet releases. This feature ensures maximum tensile performance of the crimp. DO NOT re-adjust the ratchet. 3. INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF DIE SET AND LOCATOR ASSEMBLY (Figure 1) 1. Open the tool handles and remove the two die retaining screws from the tool jaws. Back of Tool (Wire Side) 2. Place the wire anvil so that the chamfered side and the marked surfaces face outward, when mounted in the moving jaw of the tool frame. Insert Wire 3. Insert the die retaining screw through the jaw and Here through the anvil die, and tighten the screw just enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the screw completely at this time. 4. Place the wire crimper so that the chamfered side Figure 2 and the marked surface face outward, when Select an applicable contact and identify the mounted in the stationary jaw of the tool frame. appropriate crimp section according to the wire size 5. Insert the die retaining screw through the jaw and markings on the tool. Refer to Figure 2 and proceed as through the crimper die, and tighten the screw just follows: enough to hold the die in place. Do not tighten the 1. Hold the tool so that the back (wire side) is facing screw completely at this time. you. Squeeze tool handles together and allow them 6.
