bring the locator forward through the tooling. See Figure 2.
3. While holding the locator button in, load the terminal into the proper nest
opening in the locator based on the wire gauge or terminal type
markings on the hand tooling. See Figure 3.
4. Release the locator button, allowing the locator to return to the crimping
position.
5. Close the tool handle until the first ratchet position engages. See
Figure 4.
6. Insert the properly stripped wire through the terminal and against the
wire stop. See Figure 5.
7. Crimp the terminal by squeezing the tool handles until the ratchet
mechanism cycle has been completed. Release the handles to open the jaws.
Note: The tamper proof ratchet action will not release the tool until it has been fully closed.
8. Remove the crimped terminal from the terminal
locator by pulling on the wire.
