open and away from the

Crimping Terminals
1. Select the desired terminal listed in the preceding
charts.
2. Swing the terminal locator away from the crimp tool

terminal must then be loaded into the locator in the
closed crimp position. See Figure 4.
3. Press down on the wire stop on the locator as
shown in Figure 5. Insert the proper terminal into
the proper nest opening. Make sure when choosing
the nest opening, it will correspond with the A, B, or
C profile on the hand tool. See Figure 4.
4. Return the locator to its original position.
5. Insert the proper wire over the terminal. Gently touch the wire stop with the end of the wire.
See Figure 5 and 6.
6. Compress the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet mechanism cycle has been completed.
