1. With the handles in the position,open
depress die release and rotate die to desired
pocket. The pocket will lock in place when an
audible “click” is heard (Die index number and
color appear to the left of corresponding
pocket).
CAUTION: Do not cycle tool unless the die
release button has seated and the die has
locked in place.
Refer to product packaging for selection of the
proper crimp pocket. Place the desired
compression connector in the crimp pocket
(See Fig. 2).
2. Close handles until the connector is held
snugly in position—do not deform the barrel.
3. Remove end plug(s) [for aluminum
compression connectors only]. Insert the
stripped wire into the connector until the wire
stops. Refer to product packaging for wire
strip length.
4. Crimp the connector by closing the handles
until the controlled cycle mechanism releases.
Repeat this operation for the compression
connectors that require more than one
compression.
Upon release, the handles will open
automatically and the crimped connector can
be removed.
After crimping, inspect that the crimp is
centered on the barrel in order to achieve
optimal pullout performance. Also, inspect die
index number embossed in connector by crimp
die.
